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
The provider and staff provide offer a warm and welcoming, home-from-home environment for children. The rooms are incredibly well organised and the resources on offer spark children's curiosity and imaginations excellently. Staff build incredibly secure relationships with children through effective settling-in sessions and provide resources that children can take home to support this process. For instance, children delight in taking home the settling-in box, containing photos, books and toys to familiarise themselves with the room.
Staff support children to be confident from an early age. As a result, by the time they move into the older age groups, children are ready to explore and learn.
Children are given lots of encouragement and praise and learn an affirmation of the week. As a result, all children have fantastic attitudes towards learning and a strong belief in themselves.

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.
