What childcare usually costs in Hackney
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hackney 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 feel secure and comfortable in the setting's calm and supportive atmosphere. They eagerly arrive, and wave goodbye to their parents and carers.
Staff provide interesting activities to help children engage in their learning. Older children enjoy circle time activities. They share their thoughts with each other.
Children sing songs, such as the morning welcome song. Staff help children to learn the days of the week and months of the year when they sing. Children practise taking turns, learn respect for other's opinions and understand the importance of rules.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- monitor staff's practice more precisely, to ensure that the curriculum is implemented to build on all children's knowledge and skills even further n make it easier for children aged under two years to freely select activities and resources of their own choice, to support their learning and growing independence.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £55.00 a day still the rate? 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.
