Lubavitch Nursery
Good★ 4.4 on GoogleBirth to 5Long established
A pre-school in London for children from birth to 5, open 06:00 to 23:00, 7 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2024. Open since 2017, with 100 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 Hackney
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hackney 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 welcoming and friendly nursery. Their emotional well-being is supported effectively by the staff. Staff gather current information from parents about each child as they arrive each day. Children engage quickly in their chosen play and are, overall, active learners. Staff make sure they provide a curriculum that builds on the interests of children and supports what each child is ready to learn next. Children are curious in their play and build on their skills and knowledge effectively.
Children's independence skills are supported very well by staff throughout the nursery. Staff help the youngest children make choices in their play and start to do things for themselves. For example, babies, with support from staff, find their shoes and initially try to put these on by themselves. Older children, pour their own drinks, self-serve food safely at lunch time and clear away their own used plates.
Children understand what staff expect of them and behave well. Staff help children to share toys and take turns. They regularly use positive words and phrases when praising children's good choices and decisions during their play and learning. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff questioning techniques to provide children with opportunities to further develop their communication and language skills and help them to think critically.

Still missing for Lubavitch Nursery

- Waiting list
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.
