A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 2020, with 71 places.
What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
All 3 and 4-year-olds in England are entitled to 15 hours of funded childcare per week. Working families may be eligible for 30 hours. Eligible 2-year-olds from lower-income households also qualify for 15 hours.
Worth knowing. We hold funded places at all three settings — but they go quickly. Register your interest early. Funding is applied from the term after your child turns the eligible age.
What childcare usually costs in Westminster
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Westminster from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- 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.
