Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Hayes for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 15:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2015, with 24 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
Leaders and staff plan themed activities on books and children's interests. Children are happy to access toys and resources to explore and learn in their own way. For example, children take the construction tools into the quiet area to 'fix' the chairs.
Staff use songs and books to develop children's language. They share visual cues when telling a group of children the story of 'The Hungry Caterpillar'. Children use these cues at other times of the day to independently recall parts of stories with their friends.
Leaders plan focused learning time for children, then staff give them time to explore the activity independently. This helps staff to know what each child has learned. Children are supported to make progress as staff are clear on where children are in their development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend strategies to help children learn about factors that support their good health n allow for more flexibility when implementing the curriculum so it is more responsive to children's needs.

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.
