A day nursery in Hounslow for children from birth to 8+, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2025. Open since 2015, with 70 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 Hounslow

What it is like to attend
Staff provide a safe, warm and welcoming environment where children eagerly arrive to start their day and that is full of exciting learning opportunities. Staff encourage children to express themselves during group activities, such as circle time, and talk about their past experiences. This helps children boost their confidence and communication and language skills.
Staff have clear expectations and consider each child as a unique individual. They follow children's interests and consider their abilities when planning for their learning. The provider follows the Montessori philosophy. Children make choices about their play and learning. They develop positive attitudes to learning, and they grow in confidence. Staff encourage children to take turns during group activities.
Children learn to share, accept each other's differences and behave well. Staff are caring and meet individual children's needs well. Babies receive lots of attention and enjoy moving their bodies when staff sing nursery rhymes. Children are active, and they regularly access outdoors.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- arrange for more targeted support for less skilled staff to help them develop strong teaching skills and provide consistently strong quality learning experiences for all children n build on current opportunities for children who learn English as an additional language to hear and use their home language in their play and learning.

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.
