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

What it is like to attend
Children are happy and thoroughly enjoy spending time at this warm and wellorganised nursery. Staff offer a nurturing and stimulating learning environment.
Children are confident and keen to learn. From the very start, staff take time to learn about children's interests, home lives and stages of development. This helps children to settle in comfortably. A strong key-person system helps children feel secure.
Teaching is strong. Staff help children to build on what they already know and plan a range of activities to promote all areas of learning. Staff plan activities based on children's likes and interests. For example, children love gardening and staff provide them with soil pots and seeds to explore.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children to explore similarities and differences between different faiths and cultural communities n continue to enhance support for children's early communication skills to a higher level.

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.
