Jolly Time Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Edgward for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2023. Open since 2009, with 45 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.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy to attend the setting. They separate happily from their parents, demonstrating that they feel safe and secure, and are warmly greeted by staff. The children choose activities to join in with and are supported by the friendly staff team. Children have good relationships with the adults, who know them well. They access a range of learning opportunities that are both familiar to them and also develop their learning throughout the week. For example, the children have been making masks for Chinese New Year and were very excited to complete the sticking and painting of them.
The children have time to play, both inside and outside. They are encouraged to run and move outside. The also brought their dragon mask outside, chasing each other, while other children played with drums, just as they had seen in a story.
Opportunities such as these support their physical development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - ensure that children are given every opportunity to develop their independence and self-help skills in everyday activities n support staff to develop children's communication and language by giving children enough time to respond to questions and share their thoughts and feelings.

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.
