What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Non funded sessions are charged at £12.50 per hour
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Free Early Educational Entitlement (funded places) for two and three year olds; 15-hour and 30-hour funded entitlement.
Worth knowing. 30-hour: minimum Monday and Friday full day sessions, Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday afternoon sessions; 15-hour: four afternoon sessions per week; weekly consumables fee applies; consumables are voluntary.
What childcare usually costs in Hillingdon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hillingdon from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Where it is
HA5 2QUWhat Ofsted found, area by area
Since November 2025 Ofsted gives a standard in each of seven areas rather than one overall grade. Expected standard means it is doing what it should.
What the inspector found
One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

Still missing for Honey Bears Montessori
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £12.50 an hour still the rate? 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.
