Good★ 4.4 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in West Kilburn for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 19:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2013, with 76 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 Brent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Brent 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 happy and enjoy their time at this setting. Staff are very welcoming, and the children have strong relationships with their key persons. Children are secure in the routines of the day, which are well managed by staff. As a result, they grow in confidence and flourish.
Staff support children to develop their communication and language skills. Children are encouraged to talk about what they have done over the weekend and what they want to play with next. Staff offer lots of praise and encouragement to children throughout activities. They provide the support children need when persisting with an activity so they can see it through. Children are kind and play well together. They use good manners and look out for each other. They say
'please' and 'thank you' when sharing.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to improve the existing good systems for communication, to further enhance effective information sharing with all parents - review the organisation of some adult-led activities, particularly to help quieter children remain more focused and engaged in their learning.

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.
