Good★ 4.4 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2022. Open since 2005, with 40 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 Merton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Merton 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 of mixed ages keenly arrive and enjoy a healthy breakfast together. Older children enthusiastically show visitors how to register their arrival. They proudly say, 'This is my name'. Key staff provide very young children with lots of cuddles to help them settle. Children are emotionally secure and show that they feel safe.
Children benefit from plenty of fresh air and physical exercise. They eagerly engage in activities and the opportunities provided outdoors. For example, children enthusiastically ride bicycles and tricycles, and keenly kick balls. This helps to test out children's physical skills and abilities well.
Children demonstrate positive behaviour. They follow rules, help to tidy away and keenly share toys and resources. Staff are good role models and, for example, encourage children to use good manners. Staff are caring and sensitive in their approach. Children learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, young children learn how to move up and down stairs safely. Staff consistently supervise children to help to maintain their safety.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - provide more opportunities for children to initiate their own learning through play, particularly in the pre-school room n create more opportunities for children to further develop a love of books and early reading, particularly in the pre-school room and toddler room.

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.
