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 Hillingdon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hillingdon 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 happy and settle quickly in this welcoming nursery. Staff know the children well and plan experiences that motivate and interest them. Children like exploring and investigating the activities and toys provided at the nursery. They enjoy outside play. Children explore sand, take their turn on the slide and begin to master the skill of pedalling a tricycle. Children paint with confidence and are able to talk enthusiastically about what they are creating. Older children squeeze dough, rolling it out in order to cut out shapes.
Children are well behaved. They know what is expected of them and follow the rules and boundaries that are in place. Staff teach children about showing respect and tolerance towards each other. Children follow the good example set by staff and are generally kind and respectful to one another. For example, older children work together to construct towers.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Staff use pictures to support children's understanding of words and routines. They work closely with parents and other agencies to support children's progress and understand the needs of individual children. This ensures that children's needs are well planned for and that early help is identified, where necessary, to close the gaps in their development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on staff's questioning techniques to enable children to have more time to think, respond and demonstrate what they know and understand n extend children's good mathematical skills by supporting staff to recognise and build on the opportunities that occur in children's everyday play and activities.

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.
