A pre-school in Winchmore Hill for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:00, 7 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in January 2023. Open since 2003, with 53 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 Enfield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Enfield 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 thrive at this highly inclusive and nurturing setting. They arrive happy and excited to learn. They confidently say goodbye to their parents and quickly become engrossed in their play and learning. A highly effective key-person system ensures that children and families form exceptionally strong bonds with staff. For example, children's transitions are personalised and supported by staff and parents. As a result, children settle with ease and are confident to explore the environment.
Children's behaviour is exceptional. They share and take turns with their peers.
Staff are excellent role models and encourage children to respect others. For example, they give positive feedback to children when they see them sharing and waiting for their turn. Routines are embedded and there are clear boundaries in place. For example, staff share 'golden rules' daily. Children learn these and can explain what they mean. As a result, children enjoy a calm and positive learning environment and know what is expected of them.

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.
