What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
15 or 30 hours of government-funded childcare.
Worth knowing. Funding covers 38 weeks per year (term time). If your child attends all year round, normal fees apply for the remaining 14 weeks. All funded places include additional charges for meals and enhanced activities (except under 2s).
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
Children arrive and are greeted by welcoming staff at this wonderful nursery. Staff are highly committed and very nurturing. They work well together and value children as individuals. Children feel relaxed and secure, as routines are well embedded. Babies are comfortable and enjoy playing alongside each other. They enjoy plenty of sensory exploration scooping dyed grains, for example. Older children play cooperatively. They enjoy learning, discovering and experimenting together.
The curriculum for physical development is highly ambitious. Staff use the outdoor areas well to promote children's physical health. Babies enjoy rocking on see-saws and excitedly practise throwing and catching with balls. Older children boldly navigate challenging obstacle courses. Staff innovatively plan activities that appeal to children. For example, they use tape to stick various toy animals to inverted containers. As babies discover the animals, they are transfixed and persist in trying to free them.
All staff are strong motivators. They speak about the children positively and have high expectations of what children can achieve. Children are consistently challenged to think and learn to problem-solve. Staff allow children to attempt tasks independently before offering assistance. They consistently seek children's permission as they interact with them. Children feel safe and confidently assert their preferences.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - revisit the system for monitoring and reviewing policies so that all policies are captured and shared with the entire staff team.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
