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 Ealing
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Ealing 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 happy to start their day at this warm and welcoming nursery. They separate from their main carers with ease and enter the setting. Children feel safe and secure in the care of the familiar staff, who know them very well. The attachments between children and staff are secure. Staff are dedicated to giving children the best possible start in life.
Children move freely and confidently around the nursery as they choose their own play. They benefit from a range of enjoyable activities and experiences across all areas of learning and development. For instance, children enjoy playing imaginatively with bubbles and water. They use spades to fill sieves with sand, giggling with excitement as they watch it filter out.
Staff have high expectations of children and support them to develop good manners. Children behave well. For instance, they understand clear boundaries, are kind and respectful to one another, and say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children listen to and follow simple instructions, such as sitting down for story time. They receive positive praise from staff when the task is completed. This helps to boost children's confidence and promotes their well-being.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide a wider range of opportunities for young children to develop their independence and self-care skills even further n consider ways to enhance parent partnerships to ensure parents are kept informed of and involved in their children's learning.

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.
