Outstanding★ 4.3 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in November 2023. Open since 1999, with 50 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
The highly qualified and experienced staff team provides an exceptionally stimulating and welcoming environment in which children's happiness and development are paramount. The key-person system is incredibly successful in ensuring that children build secure attachments with staff to promote their wellbeing. Children demonstrate that they feel very safe and secure and thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery.
The manager and staff know the children extremely well and skilfully support children's learning through carefully planned activities. For example, young children delight in exploring shaving foam as they learn about different textures and begin to mix colours. Older children are encouraged to problem solve during art activities as they explore a range of materials and try out different methods to stick them together. Throughout the activities, staff demonstrate excellent teaching skills and support children's early communication skills effectively. For instance, staff describe to young children what they are doing and repeat key words slowly. Staff ask older children questions to extend their thinking skills and give them plenty of time to share their own ideas.
Staff are excellent role models and treat the children with the highest level of respect. They teach children from an early age about feelings, emotions and how to express themselves. Children confidently register themselves, placing their name on a colour to represent how they are feeling that day, and they learn how to selfregulate their behaviour.

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.
