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 Haringey

What it is like to attend
Leaders provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes children's emotional well-being. They focus on supporting children to be independent and learn fundamental life skills, such as sharing, turn taking and being kind to their friends. Children behave well.
Staff provide ample opportunities for babies to practise a wide range of physical skills, as they climb on and over large soft equipment. Staff support young children to take turns stacking bricks to create a tower and count with them as the towers get taller. The curriculum for communication and language development is a strength at the nursery. Leaders have clear intentions to promote children's good speaking skills and staff implement these effectively. Staff in the baby room adapt their practice well to support babies and young children. For instance, they use single key words and repeated refrains, such as 'ready, steady, go', which children then copy. Throughout the nursery, staff sing to children a lot. Children join in with words and phrases they remember and eagerly anticipate key parts of songs. This helps children to hear a wide range of vocabulary and become confident communicators.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- tailor home learning further, so parents can support their children with their individual learning at home n seek further ways to identify professional development opportunities for staff that focus on developing a deeper knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning.

- Nappies

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
