Good★ 3.8 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Pinner for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2008, with 60 places.
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 Harrow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Harrow 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
Staff ensure that the educational programme is exciting and challenging for children. Children eagerly approach staff to ask if it is their turn to watch the hatching of duck eggs. They are keen to share what they know about keeping the ducklings warm and how they are going to take it in turns to give them food and water and watch them grow. Children demonstrate what they have learned by reminding each other not to get too close and not to tap the glass as this may scare the ducklings.
Younger children come together to join in singing. They benefit from attentive staff who encourage them to explore a range of sensory experiences by tapping, squeezing or shaking the resources to get a response.
Children form warm relationships with staff who get to know them and their families extremely well. Activities are planned around children's interests, with key persons ensuring that all staff have some knowledge of children's individual next steps. Behaviour is good as staff have high expectations and children are reminded of the 'golden rules'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that opportunities to encourage children's independence are consistent throughout their everyday activities and routines n ensure that outdoor activities include sufficient space for children's free movement.

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.
