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 Barnet
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Barnet 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 provide children with a safe and engaging environment. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They focus heavily on providing opportunities for children to become independent and take responsibility for their own environment. Staff choose children to take part in daily routines, such as being
'special helpers' for the day. Children show they are proud and enjoy helping their friends set up tables for lunch. Staff swiftly identify positive behaviour, such as sharing and turn-taking, and praise children. This helps children to understand what is expected in a positive way.
Staff implement a broad curriculum that supports children well. Staff encourage children by skilfully including elements of mathematics into all activities. For example, younger children explore shapes and colours. Older children use language of size and identify numbers. For instance, older children successfully identify big, medium and small beds from the book 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. The manager and staff provide children with special educational needs and/or disabilities with a learning environment that is supportive of their needs. The manager works closely with outside agencies and parents to ensure that children receive the best support.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan and implement the curriculum with more precision to sequentially build the knowledge and skills that younger children need to acquire n review ways to reduce interruptions, particularly during group times, to promote younger children's concentration and listening skills and optimise their learning experiences.

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.
