This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Southwark 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 settle well into the nursery and enjoy their time playing and learning with their friends. The manager and her team implement a routine that starts with a warm welcome and continues with gentle guidance throughout the day. This helps children to feel comfortable, content and ready to learn. Older children play a key role in demonstrating the daily routine to their younger peers. For example, they show their friends where to bring their bowl and cup when they finish their snack.
This helps develop children's independence and pride in making a positive contribution.
Children develop close bonds with staff and parents comment on the emotional support their children receive from their key person and other members of the team. Staff demonstrate the good behaviour expected of the children in their care.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support parents to gain an understanding of how to protect children when they use electronic devices with internet access at home n make the most of opportunities to draw on children's cultural experiences to explore their similarities and differences.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
