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 Ealing
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Ealing 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 feel safe and secure in a homely environment, which respects them and their families as individuals. For example, children's family photos are displayed around the setting. This helps children to feel valued. Children explore a wide range of stimulating activities. They engage and develop their imaginations in pretend play with a variety of different dinosaurs. Children have opportunities to develop their mathematical understanding. They count their steps as they use the balancing equipment. Staff support children to develop their understanding by using language such as 'more', 'small' and 'heavy', as children explore the water area. This helps to broaden children's knowledge of measurements.
Children have opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, they climb up hills and manoeuvre over tyres in the garden. Younger children develop their confidence when taking steps. Overall, children engage well with each other. They are confident within the setting. Children form positive attachments with staff.
They are confident to approach staff for reassurance when needed. For example, younger children enjoy cuddles. Children benefit from positive interactions with caring staff. They are grouped according to attachments that they make with staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help children to extend their understanding of how to behave when playing with other children n ensure that younger children have consistent opportunities to develop their independence skills.

Still missing for Kindred Hanwell
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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
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.
