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 Ealing

What it is like to attend
Children are happy and excited to explore in this inviting and nurturing nursery.
They benefit from the secure attachments they build with staff. For example, children arrive at nursery with big smiles, and their key persons greet them with cuddles. This helps children to feel safe and excited for the day ahead.
Staff are positive role models and have high expectations of children's behaviour.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review how group activities are planned and organised to ensure that all children are fully engaged to extend their learning opportunities further n improve the monitoring of staff's practice, and provide additional training and support where needed, to make sure that all children benefit from high-quality learning experiences.

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.
