Good★ 4.7 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2023. Open since 2008, with 30 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 Brent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Brent 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 know the children they care for very well at this friendly nursery. Children form strong bonds with their key persons and seek them out if they are having difficulties and need reassurance or if they are sad or upset. Staff teach children how to keep themselves safe. For example, they remind them to take turns when playing on the slide and not to run inside, as they might fall over and get hurt.
Behaviour is good. Children understand expectations and the importance of sharing and taking turns when playing with their friends.
The curriculum is based on children's interests. Activities are well planned and engaging. Outside, older children chalk pictures of monsters and describe the sound their monster makes to staff. Inside, the youngest children practise opening and closing the lids of different bottles. Staff are on hand to show them how to turn and push the lids. Children show real delight when they are successful and exclaim, 'Look I did it. I do it again!'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's understanding of how to further extend older children's learning and development to ensure that they always make good progress.

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.
