Forget-me-not Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Hornchurch for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2024. Open since 2014, with 19 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 Havering
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Havering 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 and support children to settle in well at this lively and inclusive nursery. Staff get to know children well and have good relationships with them.
Children show that they feel safe as they separate well from their parents on arrival. They know that they can go to staff for cuddles and reassurance.
Leaders plan a curriculum that is broad, and staff plan meaningful opportunities for children to deepen their knowledge. Staff ignite children's excitement for learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff's understanding of effective ways to further promote children's independence so they develop their self-care skills n increase opportunities for older children to express their ideas and create their own interpretations during art and craft activities.

Still missing for Forget-me-not Nursery

- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
