Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
All three- and four-year-old children are entitled to a universal offer of 15 hours funded childcare per week and this entitlement also applies to the most disadvantaged two-year-olds. Since September 2017, three- and four-year-olds whose parents are working may be entitled to 30 Hours funded childcare, depending on family income and whether both parents are working or it is a single parent househ.
Worth knowing. Fees for two, three and four years olds who are entitled to funded 15 and 30 hour places will be calculated at £11 per hour for each hour over those funded by Government.
What childcare usually costs in Kensington and Chelsea
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kensington and Chelsea 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 have a deep understanding of the children and families who attend the nursery and of their differing needs. Staff are positive role models who prioritise children's emotional well-being. Leaders place a great emphasis on providing nurturing spaces and secure attachments for children. Staff have a fluid approach to the day so that they can focus on children's needs first. As a result, children feel happy, safe and ready to learn.
The curriculum is ambitious. Staff make adaptations to personalise learning for children. Staff use creative activities to extend children's learning through their interests. For example, children enjoy removing cars from blocks of ice with hammers as they develop muscles for early writing skills and the next stage of their education.
Staff support children to actively develop their strength, balance and coordination as they navigate soft play and steps. Staff are close by to praise and encourage them. Children behave well. For example, older children show high levels of involvement as they work together to build a castle with the soft blocks. They develop strong hand and finger muscles as they roll play dough and thread beads.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance the overall good support for children's communication and language development to help children to process information and build on their understanding n encourage children's developing independence further throughout the daily routines and activities.

- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £77.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
