Good★ 4.7 on GoogleBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2024. Open since 2017, with 49 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 Greenwich
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Greenwich 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 build strong relationships with staff from the start. New children are extremely well supported as staff quickly get to know their individual needs. Staff tailor their interactions to help children to feel safe and secure. For example, they speak to children in their home languages where possible. Babies and young children enjoy cuddles and snuggle up to staff to share books and rhymes. Preschool children confidently explore the wide range of exciting activities which staff plan. They are extremely curious to experiment as they mix ingredients to make play dough. Staff encourage children to use their senses to explore the texture and smell of herbs and fruit.
Children learn to follow simple rules and help to tidy up their toys before meals.
Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour and teach children to take turns when playing simple games. Children are friendly and play well together. The management team is highly ambitious for children to succeed and make good progress. It supports staff to plan stimulating learning opportunities that enable children to build on their knowledge and abilities. For example, they sequence their teaching to develop children's physical skills. Babies have opportunities to pull themselves up and crawl on the climbing frame. Older children develop these skills further as they join in with action songs and run in the outdoor area.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop their knowledge of the subjects they teach so they can extend children's learning even further.

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.
