GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 09:15 to 15:15, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2024. Open since 2009, 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 Enfield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Enfield 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 are kind, caring and responsive to children's individual needs. They offer warm welcomes to children as they arrive. This helps children to feel happy and demonstrates that they feel safe. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. They encourage children to share and play cooperatively with their peers. For example, children delight in building walls with their friends, using large foam bricks and metal bolts to connect large pipes. Staff use a tape measure with children to measure their height. They teach children to practise reading out numbers on the tape measure. This helps to develop children's mathematical skills effectively.
Funding is used appropriately. For example, the manager uses funding to provide one-to-one support for children. This supports children who are vulnerable and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities to make good progress.
Children enjoy physical activities and fresh air when playing outside. Staff provide opportunities that present challenge and encourage children to take risks in their play. They support children to learn how to keep safe and develop an awareness of their surroundings. For instance, children make up games in the garden. They ride around on wheeled toys as they pretend to cross roads. Children use stop signs and shout out to their friends to 'stop, look and listen' as they ride over their road mats.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen opportunities for children to take more responsibility for their toys and the environment.

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.
