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 Wandsworth

What it is like to attend
Children enjoy playing in this well-equipped setting. Staff are kind, nurturing and offer close emotional support. This helps children to feel safe and settle quickly.
Young children choose a favourite book and snuggle up with their key person. They giggle as they point to their noses and make connections with others. Older children understand the rules and play cooperatively with their friends. Children are motivated to learn and excited to take part in the interesting play experiences on offer. Parents report that the staff are friendly and caring and that their children happily attend. They comment on the good progress their children are making, particularly in their language development.
The ambitious curriculum helps all children to make good progress in their learning and development. Staff are skilled in asking children questions to make them think.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of the lunchtime routines for younger children so they wait less time for meals n review the planning of the role-play area to offer children an even wider range of play experiences to maximise their learning. Preschool

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.
