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 Kingston upon Thames

What it is like to attend
Parents and children are greeted warmly by staff when they first arrive at the nursery. Children form strong bonds with their key person. For example, children who are upset are comforted with cuddles and reassurance. Children settle extremely well, demonstrating that they feel safe and secure.
Children have the opportunity to engage in a variety of age-appropriate activities.
Staff have a secure understanding of how to support children's learning. Children develop a positive attitude to learning and are motivated to explore and investigate their learning environment. For example, younger children sing songs and use props to help identify which song they would like to sing next. Toddlers enjoy exploring a sensory water play with food items they have selected from a visit to the local shops. This helps children to become familiar with real life experiences.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop their teaching techniques to maximise opportunities for children's communication and language development n improve the effectiveness of the partnerships with other providers so that all children benefit from greater consistency of care.

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.
