Mini Treasures Nursery
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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2023. Open since 2009, with 24 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
Children and their parents are warmly welcomed on arrival. Staff engage them in conversations in English and their home languages, which make them feel valued and raise their sense of belonging. Children are encouraged to be independent. For example, they take off their coats and accessories, find their labelled pegs, and take responsibility for their belongings. Children say goodbye to their parents and settle quickly at the wide range of exciting activities on offer.
Children engage well with adults during their learning experiences. They respond to questions and show a positive attitude to their learning. Children demonstrate their good concentration skills as they take on the role of firefighters. They enjoy painting flames on the doll's house and use foam and spray water to extinguish the
'fire' and rescue the small-world figures. This increases children's understanding of safety and knowledge of people who help us in the community.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - increase partnership working with other settings that children attend to promote a more consistent approach to care and learning n strengthen planning to identify more precisely what children need to learn during activities to maximise their 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.
