KiddieCare Nursery
Good★ 4.8 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in West Drayton 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 March 2023. Open since 2014, with 28 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
Children separate quickly from their parent, as they are eager to start their day in nursery. Parents hand over information to staff as they say goodbye to their child.
All children are encouraged to find their name peg and to hang up coats and bags before greeting staff and other children.
Staff have high expectations for all children, and they report children have responded well to newly established routines. Children stop and listen as they are given five-minutes' notice for changes in activities. Children join in with tidying up as they sing the tidy-up song. Children offer reminders to their peers if they are not following the given directions. Children's behaviour is good, as they are aware of what they need to do to get ready for what is going to happen next.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance and differentiate activities to ensure young children are suitably engaged and challenged.

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.
