Brook Green Nursery Ltd
GoodBirth 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2023. Open since 2011, with 20 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
Children have a real sense of belonging and enjoy attending nursery. They are relaxed and settle quickly in this nurturing environment. The caring staff get to know children's individual needs from the outset. Staff have high expectations for children. A key-person system helps ensures that children's individual needs, routines and interests are known by staff and met effectively.
Children develop independence from an early age. They self-select resources and excitedly talk about what they like to do. Staff encourage them to wash their hands and learn skills in self-dressing from an early age. This helps prepare children for their next stage of learning, including their eventual move on to school.
Children understand what is expected of them. They behave very well, play cooperatively, share and take turns. Staff are positive role models; they are polite and help children develop respect for others. Younger and older children frequently spend time together, which supports development of their social skills and helps younger children learn from the older ones. Children have fun joining in activities that provide challenge and capture their interests. For example, they enjoy building towers and show delight as their tower gets higher. They play imaginatively as they pretend to be hairdressers.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review planning to provide children with more rich experiences to be able to explore the natural world.

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.
