Mini Treasures Children Centre
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2025. Open since 2012, with 80 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 Southwark
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Southwark 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 build positive and happy relationships with all children. They get to know children's family backgrounds extremely well. Staff use their knowledge of children's personalities to plan a curriculum that supports their unique talents.
Children are happy and motivated to learn. They develop a large range of skills through new experiences. All children are highly confident and enjoy learning.
Staff closely consider what each individual child requires to thrive. They adopt a range of strategies to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff consider the specialist support that individual children may need to understand instructions. All children make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve

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.
