A pre-school in Hayes for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2023. Open since 2011, with 88 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 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.

What it is like to attend
Staff know the importance of building relationships with all children to ensure that they feel safe and happy to settle into nursery. When children need additional support, staff use signs and actions to help them understand what is happening next. Staff use children's home language, alongside English, so that children feel secure and valued. Parents share that they are confident in the care provided as they notice these strong relationships.
Staff can identify where children are in their learning which supports them to plan engaging activities with clear learning intentions. This helps children to make good progress. For example, children are engaged as they strengthen their finger muscles by using tweezers to collect resources of different colours. Parents comment on the progress their children are making, particularly in their speech and language skills.
Children behave well. They help to tidy away toys and sit down at the table at mealtimes. In the garden, staff model language to children so they can learn how to engage others in their play. This supports them to develop relationships with their peers.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to review curriculum planning to ensure that it is more focused on each child's sequence of learning n build on all staff's awareness of providing consistent guidance to children to support their understanding of boundaries and learning expectations.

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.
