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 Richmond upon Thames
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Richmond upon Thames 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
Leaders and staff provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for children. Staff build strong relationships with parents and work with multi-agency professionals to ensure that children make the best possible progress. They consider advice from specialist professionals to plan for children's learning. This helps staff to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) through individual learning plans.
Staff know children well. Children are happy to share their home experiences as they build relationships with their new key person. Staff can identify where children are in their learning and how they can support them to develop. This adds to children's sense of belonging and helps to boost their self-esteem.
Staff are clear with children on the expected boundaries. During circle time, staff remind older children to use their 'listening ears' and 'quiet voices'. Children confidently demonstrate the actions to show their understanding. They concentrate well and are eager to learn in group activities. Staff give clear instructions to younger children as they take their turn to cut fruit. This supports children to learn how to keep themselves safe.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to help children to understand and express their feelings and behaviour n continue professional development to build all staff's confidence in being able to follow children's individual interests to support learning and development n develop staff's teaching to extend children's understanding of the importance of personal care routines to support their learning and understanding of good health.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
