A day nursery in London 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2023. Open since 2014, 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 Newham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Newham 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
Staff provide a warm and welcoming environment for children. They set up invitations to play, ensuring these are based on clear learning intentions. For example, authentic balancing scales with a variety of seasonal objects is an invitation for children to play with weight and measures. Children demonstrate high levels of engagement and enjoyment as they play in their environment.
Interactions between staff and children are consistently warm and supportive.
Babies are quickly comforted by cuddles and reassurance from their familiar adults.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure all staff model, and support children to develop, correct spoken English n support all children to engage in group sessions to ensure they benefit from the learning intent n consider how to further improve the feedback given to parents about their children's daily care 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.
