LadyBird Lane Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Isleworth for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2024. Open since 2023, with 30 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 Hounslow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hounslow from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Staff welcome children and their families as they arrive to start the day. This supports children to separate with ease from their parents and carers. Staff are clear about the boundaries and well-established routine in place. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children are happy as they play with their friends and staff. They are kind and behave well, showing they understand the rules of the nursery.
The curriculum supports children's development, and the manager and staff adapt it to meet the needs of the children who currently attend. For instance, they focus on children's social and emotional well-being as well as supporting them to become confident communicators. Staff support children's language skills well. For example, they use visual aids and encourage children to make choices. As a result, all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities
(SEND), make good progress from their starting points in development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consistently teach children about good hygiene.

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.
