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 Redbridge
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Redbridge 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 arrive at the nursery and happily say goodbye to their carers. They confidently take off their coats and hang their bags up. Staff know children well and ensure that their favourite resources are available for them. Children know staff will respond to their immediate needs. For example, babies snuggle into staff when they need to go to sleep. Older children approach staff, confident in the knowledge they will be reassured and comforted when this is required.
Younger children enjoy acting out their real-life experiences. They pretend to make cups of tea and hand out food to their friends. Children play happily alongside their peers. Overall, children behave well. Children develop independent skills from a young age, and even babies feel secure enough to move around confidently and choose what to do.
Toddlers listen attentively to familiar stories. They join in by recalling what comes next and copying the actions modelled by staff. This helps them to develop vocabulary and supports their coordination. Children listen and follow instructions as they engage in conversations with staff. They are confident and relaxed as they giggle and laugh together. All children make good progress towards their next stage of development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance and extend behaviour strategies to promote children's social skills, understanding of emotions and how their behaviour impacts others n extend the monitoring of staff practice further to ensure that they receive focused feedback and coaching to raise the quality of teaching to a consistently high 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.
