Good★ 4.2 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Ilford for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2023. Open since 2015, with 80 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 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
Staff work hard to embed routines and expectations that support children to develop their independence skills very well. Children excitedly explore the different activities, which staff carefully plan to promote children's development and skills across all areas of the curriculum. Children particularly benefit from accessing activities that enable them to enhance their physical development. Children enjoy taking risks and use a climbing frame to play on the slide. Younger children receive support from their key person to practise learning to walk.
Children thoroughly enjoy selecting different books and reading them in very cosy reading areas. Staff ignite children's curiosity by reading stories in a very animated manner. Children are encouraged to join in and repeat key phrases. They enjoy using role play to retell stories. Children benefit from growing different plants and explore the natural world around them. Outside, they enjoy digging and watering plants. They particularly enjoy picking plants, as part of their 'planting to plate'
initiative, where they grow different fruits and vegetables and then pick them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that staff give children time to reflect on and answer questions.

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.
