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 Hounslow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hounslow 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 flourish in this setting. Staff embrace children's interests. They provide an ambitious curriculum which enables children to develop their skills in meaningful ways. The practice at the setting is worthy of sharing with others. Staff have extremely high expectations for what children can achieve. As a result, they rapidly build on what children already know and can do. For example, children recall past experiences about the life cycle of a butterfly. Children confidently share knowledge and information about their learning. They use complex words, such as
'chrysalis'. Children remember that the butterflies they hatched were 'Pink Lady'
Children settle exceptionally well. They share wonderful relationships with their key persons and are excited to play with them. Children's uniqueness is celebrated.

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.
