This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hounslow 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 welcome children warmly from different backgrounds and abilities. They work hard to improve outcomes for children. Staff are very good at promoting children's independence skills from an early age. They give children plenty of manageable tasks, such as encouraging them to help tidy away the toys and sweep the floor.
This gives children a real sense of responsibility. Staff encourage children to take part in group sessions where they have time to talk and sing. Children respond well to this. They enjoy listening and joining in with songs and rhymes. This helps to extend children's vocabulary.
Staff follow the pre-school's safeguarding procedures effectively. For instance, they supervise children closely, inside and outside, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Staff contribute well to children's good health and physical development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- actively engage children who are less confident and reluctant to play to fully support their learning n consider other ways to ensure that staff follow clear and consistent practices at snack time.

- Meals
- Nappies
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
