Ecole Cadet Rouselle
OutstandingBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in January 2024. Open since 2013, with 25 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 Lambeth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lambeth 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 outstanding setting. Staff are passionate and motivated to deliver a well-thought-out and purposeful curriculum. This high-quality curriculum incorporates children's individual interests and identified learning goals. This has a great impact on all children and the excellent progress they make. Staff plan exciting activities and experiences based on the current topics and themes.
Children show a keen interest in these activities and are proud of what they have learned. For example, children enthusiastically talk to the inspector about where the Moon and Venus are in space.
Staff are incredibly nurturing, considerate and are fantastic role models. They offer children encouragement and praise, while also giving them the time and space to do things for themselves. Staff deeply embed the routine and transitions to different activities seamlessly throughout the day. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They care deeply for their friends and staff. The atmosphere throughout the setting is one of genuine respect and kindness.

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.
