What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
The government will fund 15 hours for some disadvantaged pupils aged 24 – 36 months. Eligible working parents with a child from 9 months old up to school age are entitled to 30 hours of childcare a week.
Worth knowing. If your child requires more than 15 hours per week, you are able to ‘top up’ your child’s time with extra hours at our published weekly rates – subject to availability.
What childcare usually costs in Hackney
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hackney 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 are extremely happy in this nurturing, stimulating environment. Staff demonstrate high energy levels, and children show an enthusiasm for their learning. Staff carefully plan real and meaningful experiences for children. For example, children squeeze, taste and smell oranges. They collect the juice into measuring jugs and taste it using small spoons. This helps to develop their physical and mathematical development.
The key-person system is highly effective, and children quickly form secure bonds with staff. Staff sing to children, give them cuddles, follow their interests and work closely with parents. This results in children feeling emotionally secure. Parents receive daily communication from staff and feel fully involved in their children's learning. Parents feel comforted, supported and reassured by the staff, demonstrating that communication is good. Parents of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities feel particularly supported within the area of their children's speech and language development.
Staff make effective use of their observations when planning children's next steps in learning. They understand what children can do and need to learn next. Babies use their fingers to paint and create a large picture of a caterpillar. Older children paint on cellophane and use large chalks to make marks. Staff place a strong focus on children's fine- and gross-motor physical development to support children's next steps in writing.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop children's independence further, especially around mealtimes for older children, and take opportunities to talk to about healthy choices.

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.
- 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.
