A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2015, with 28 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 Greenwich
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Greenwich 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 are very happy and settled. They develop strong trusting relationships with practitioners who nurture them. Children are consistently praised for their efforts. This boosts their self-esteem and desire to achieve. Children have access to a well-resourced environment. Practitioners plan an exciting curriculum with clear learning intentions. For example, the recent hatching of butterflies created excitement around nature. Children explore plant roots before they plant seeds from their fruit at snack. Later, they gather to release the butterflies. They link the affirmation of the week 'I can' to encourage the butterflies to fly.
Practitioners make excellent use of strategies, such as sign language and visual resources. This supports their intense focus on communication. Children have a positive attitude to learning, and they develop excellent communication skills. For example, storytelling is interactive with actions and signs. Children are quick to pick up on the tale and offer their suggestions of how it may end.
Leaders are proactive in linking with the community. For instance, children regularly visit an elderly group. They have access to an outdoor forest environment, and their fruit for snack is locally sourced. This helps children develop respect for others and the environment. Practitioners use photos and invite visits from children's families to show they are all different. This prepares children for life in modern Britain.

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.
