Greygates Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 1994, with 48 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 Haringey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Haringey 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 receive a warm welcome at this nurturing setting. They greet the staff with excitement and quickly settle down to play. Children of all ages show that they feel happy and secure throughout the day. They are motivated to play and learn.
For example, children show a keen interest in literacy and build strong foundations for reading and writing. Babies and toddlers learn to handle books carefully and thoroughly enjoy being read to. Older children confidently retell favourite stories and are proud to demonstrate their drawing and writing skills.
Children benefit from a broad range of experiences to enhance their knowledge of the world. For instance, they enjoy weekly 'outdoor adventures' to learn about the natural environment and their local area. Children enjoy sharing their experiences from home and happily celebrate the important events in their community and the wider world. Consequently, they show interest and respect for their differences and are keen to explore other languages and cultures.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to build on children's knowledge of mathematics more consistently during play - develop further the support for children's emotional literacy to help them understand feelings and moderate their actions.

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.
