Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 2013, with 69 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 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 thrive at this nursery. Staff welcome children warmly at the door and children are very happy to be at nursery. Staff and parents have strong relationships. Staff take the time to talk to each parent when children arrive. This means that the children's transitions between home and nursery are easy.
There is a calm and positive atmosphere in every room, with lots of high-quality interactions between staff and children. Leaders work tirelessly to provide a happy environment both for children and staff. Staff praise children regularly and children feel proud to receive this praise, responding with big smiles. Children feel safe and secure at this nursery. If they need comfort or reassurance, they approach staff for cuddles or to play with them. This demonstrates the strong relationships between staff and children.
Children participate enthusiastically in the wide range of opportunities available to them. They benefit from the strong focus on nature when they attend weekly forest-school sessions or watch caterpillars or frogs within the pre-school room.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff to address any misconceptions that children may have so that they understand the correct information.

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.
