Good★ 4.6 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2024. Open since 2002, with 137 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Hammersmith and Fulham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hammersmith and Fulham from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff develop close and secure bonds with children. As a result, children are settled in this welcoming and positive environment. They smile as they arrive and are eager to explore the many exciting activities that staff plan for them. Leaders are ambitious for all children. The curriculum is well sequenced across the nursery.
Staff help to build on what children already know and can do. Babies hold their water beakers, and children sweep up, pour drinks and self-serve their food. This helps children to develop their independence and skills for the future.
The key-person system is effective. Staff are knowledgeable and talk to children about their experiences at home. For example, they share photos with children and talk about the arrival of a new baby. Staff find out about all children's care routines at home. They use this information to help children to settle easily into the nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to extend learning for the most able children further n strengthen communication with parents to help to keep them even better informed about their children.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
