Little Marvels Nursery - Rosedale
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Hayes for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2024. 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 Hillingdon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hillingdon 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 are welcomed into this nurturing setting and settle quickly. They develop attachments to staff and build secure bonds. Children look for staff for comfort and reassurance. Staff focus on children's strengths and achievements. They create a positive environment, where all are celebrated. Children are proud when they do something well and staff value, praise and recognise this by adding the special moment to the 'wow wall'.
Staff know their children well and organise the inviting environment to support their development effectively. They track and monitor children's progress and plan specific activities that support learning. Children have a strong sense of belonging and staff ensure they develop the skills to transition smoothly into each room and are always ready for the next stage.
Children benefit from an embedded routine, and they know what is happening next. They enjoy special groups times, where they sing 'hello' songs and learn each other's names. They are given opportunities to make choices about the songs they would like to sing and are building a lovely repertoire. By the time they are in preschool, children have grown in confidence, they announce their song to the group and sing and join in enthusiastically.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide and plan further opportunities for children to practise and develop their gross motor skills n improve staff's teaching skills even further by providing specific training that helps them to extend learning effectively and make the most of all learning opportunities.

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.
