Little People's Montessori
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in London for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2015, with 28 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 are happy and relaxed in this welcoming nursery. They develop strong bonds and secure attachments with the caring staff. Children who are new to the nursery or arrive upset are comforted well by staff and settle quickly. Staff are positive role models and children giggle with delight as they join their play.
Purposeful activities are planned to support children in their learning. For example, younger children have fun in the home corner as they take care of the dolls, while older ones work together to organise a racing game. Staff support children to make good progress in their development.
Children develop their independence as they put on outdoor shoes or boots to go to the garden or slippers when indoors. Children enjoy finding a plate and cup and saucer for snack and mealtimes, and understand to handle them gently as they are breakable. Children relish their time outside and demonstrate good physical dexterity, as they climb and balance on the tree and develop their imaginative play as they organise their own chasing games. Staff teach children to take appropriate risks and challenges as they play, building their confidence and self-esteem.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- encourage staff to focus more precisely on clearer learning intentions for activities to support what children need to learn next n support staff to engage effectively with children when joining their play to enhance their learning further.

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.
