A pre-school in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 2016, 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 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 engage in learning as soon as they arrive at this happy nursery. Staff provide reassurance, making children feel safe and ready to learn. Children build on their communication and language. For example, children enjoy playing at the hairdressers, where they delight in sharing their 'barbering' skills to pretend to shave a staff member. They excitedly wash, dry and straighten hair, as they share with their friends lots of vocabulary of their experience. For younger children, they learn language through play and repetition. Before lunch, they sing a prayer song in Hebrew. This also provides a sense of belonging.
Lots of cosy areas both indoors and outdoors encourage children to enjoy books.
Young children find a covered, cosy space under a table, where a staff member spontaneously joins them to read a story. Children are engaged and listen with intent. Older children share a story experience and recall information they have previously learned. For example, they recall the name of the author 'Mick Inkpen', who is also 'a graphic designer'. They talk about the pictures they see and confidently ask questions to broaden their knowledge. Staff and leaders have high expectations for every child. The curriculum is ambitious and inclusive to ensure every child, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, makes good progress. Planning is effectively based around children's interests and engagement.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve resources within the environment to fully reflect all faiths, religions and cultures within the nursery to support teaching of the wider world

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.
