A day nursery in Edgware for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 October 2023. Open since 2018, with 60 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
Older children explore the nursery area to find activities and resources that catch and retain their interests. Staff present activities well to children and they select what they need to support their play. Younger children have staff who give them space to explore but remain close by and ensure children can check their familiar adult is available for them.
Allocated key workers support children moving into the nursery by finding out what children like and enjoy. Staff speak to parents and observe children during settlingin visits and provide resources children show interest in. Children enjoy attending this welcoming nursery. They quickly develop self-confidence and are motivated and engaged in their learning. Behaviour is good. Children stop to listen to clear directions given by staff.
Meetings with parents are quickly arranged to ensure referrals for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are promptly made. Individual support plans are devised in partnership with parents to ensure expectations are consistent between home and nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure staff give children time to think and respond when asking questions, to further extend their communication skills n ensure staff incorporate the use of mathematical vocabulary, including numbers, counting and size, into activities with children.

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.
