Little Stars Preschool Nursery Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Harrow for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2023. Open since 2020, with 52 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 Harrow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Harrow 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 settled at this nurturing nursery. They receive lots of individual attention from the caring staff, therefore they feel welcomed and included. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure, as they explore freely. They display their positive relationships with staff, chatting to them happily and engaging them in play.
Children thoroughly enjoy the learning experiences and focus well on their chosen activities. For instance, children of different ages are eager to participate in bathing the dolls. They develop their social skills as they learn to share and take turns with the resources. Children investigate how to work the pump on a soap dispenser and squeeze toothpaste from a tube. They make links to previous learning as they remember that sweets can cause tooth cavities.
The manager and staff have high expectations for all children and want them to be confident and inquisitive learners. Children learn to carry out tasks for themselves and develop their independence throughout the day. For example, on arrival, children put away their belongings and find their photo to register their attendance.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff to strengthen the implementation of the curriculum outdoors to further enhance children's 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.
