A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2023. Open since 2004, with 74 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 Southwark
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Southwark 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
Children are warmly welcomed into the nursery. Babies smile and hold out their arms as they separate from their carers. Older children hang up their belongings and walk into pre-school with confidence. Children have formed good relationships with staff, who spend time getting to know them and their families. Staff communicate well with children, asking questions and showing genuine interest during conversations with them. Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well. Their home languages and cultures are celebrated throughout the nursery, giving them a sense of belonging.
Children behave well and show friendly behaviour towards each other. Older children play cooperatively together, sharing construction toys in the sand and the role-play area. Younger children smile and giggle with each other as they climb and slide on apparatus. Staff are active outside with children, encouraging their physical development as they run around obstacles and ride around tracks. Children show an interest in books. Babies point at pictures and lift flaps with excitement. Older children handle books with care and anticipate what might happen next. Staff model courteous behaviour, encouraging children to use their manners and treat everyone with respect.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure opportunities for children to develop their independence are consistent across all ages.
- strengthen the key-person system further to ensure children have consistent experiences every day.

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.
