Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2023. Open since 2011, with 60 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 Hammersmith and Fulham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hammersmith and Fulham 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 very happy and secure in this homely nursery. They quickly form close relationships with their key person, who interacts warmly with them. They form friendships with other children attending. This means they are eager to come to nursery. Children behave very well, they know to share and what is expected of them.
Managers and staff have high expectations for every child attending. They find out about their individual interests and needs from the onset. Children spend their time purposefully engaging in a variety of stimulating and age-appropriate activities, which capture their unique interests. For example, children have great fun identifying different animals and the sounds they make. They recall trips they have made to the zoo and farm. Children learn about the importance of recycling. Babies thoroughly enjoy exploring sand and grasp objects.
The curriculum is well planned to help children develop the skills they need and progress through the stages of development and build on what they know. Staff regularly check children's understanding before moving on to the next stage. For example, children are encouraged to count to ten as they play "the manager". Staff
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - review sharing of information about children's care and learning with parents to ensure that all parents are helped to support children's learning at home to enhance their learning even further n identify an even more targeted plan for professional development to increase knowledge and skills 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.
