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 Redbridge
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Redbridge 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 arrive happily and settle quickly at this friendly nursery. They separate well from their parents, and staff encourage them to join in with activities of their choice. Staff provide an interesting learning environment that children explore with curiosity. Children have fun using large toothbrushes to practise brushing large models of teeth. Staff plan activities that build on what children already know and what they need to learn next.
Staff are gentle and kind to children. They encourage and support children to treat everyone with respect. Staff play alongside children and are joyful in their company. Children play happily alongside each other and are supported to share and take turns. Staff know their key children well and have good relationships with their parents.
Children enjoy the outdoor space and can play in the fresh air. They also visit local parks and forests to have the opportunity to run and learn about nature. Children are well behaved. Staff use pictures and models to encourage them to express how they feel. This helps children to regulate their emotions and learn strategies to use in the future.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop children's communication and language skills by giving children enough time to respond to questions n provide less-confident staff with additional support and mentoring to help them to incorporate what individual children need to learn next into activities.

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.
