Crescent II Kindergarten: The Kindergartens
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 04:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2008, with 60 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 Wandsworth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wandsworth 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
Staff greet children warmly at the gate. They use children's home languages to say hello and chat to them about their home lives. Children are extremely well settled and happy at the nursery. Babies play very contentedly alongside their friends, and pre-school children enjoy sharing stories together.
Children are exceptionally well behaved. They learn to follow staff's expectations in the nursery, such as tucking in their chairs and tidying up their toys. Staff build strong relationships with children from the start. Babies beam with delight when their key person walks into the room. Staff meet children's individual needs in calm and nurturing ways. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Staff engage children in playful interactions that support their social skills. Toddlers roar with laughter as staff play peekaboo with them. Pre-school children become deeply engaged in role play, such as pretending to be at the spa, which helps to embed their thinking about their life experiences.
Leaders, managers and staff are extremely ambitious to create stimulating environments and learning experiences that prepare children well for the next stage in their learning and future lives. Children are highly interested in the learning opportunities that extend what they can do and know. This means that all children make excellent progress.

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.
