A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2024. Open since 2013, with 38 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
Staff have created an inviting and safe space for children. Children arrive happy, smiling widely and bouncing with excitement. Staff greet children with warmth and enthusiasm. Children happily separate from their parents and carers, and run off to see what opportunities await them as part of the setting's ambitious curriculum.
Children's behaviour is good. They understand the rules and boundaries of the setting, discussing these together at the start of the day. Staff remind children to use good manners, prompting them to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children begin to learn to share with others with support from staff, who facilitate their play.
Staff have high expectations of children and support them to develop independence in their own self-care. They encourage children to wipe their own noses and put the tissues in the bin. Children use the bathroom and wash their hands independently. They begin to scrape their own plates after lunch when they have finished.

What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider how routines are organised to ensure that children have enough time to develop and expand their ideas before being moved on to something else n provide children with opportunities to problem-solve independently before stepping in to provide support to develop their resilience for later 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.
