A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2023. Open since 2005, with 34 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 Ealing
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Ealing 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 arrive eager to start their day They thoroughly enjoy their time at nursery and separate from parents easily. Children are warmly welcomed by a friendly and nurturing staff team. They happily come straight into a well-organised and safe environment. Children have good relationships with staff. They enjoy engaging in and initiating conversations with them as they use their imagination in the role-play area. Children develop a variety of independence skills. For example, they take off coats before self-registering and keenly set the table at lunchtime.
Children make good progress in their learning and development. Many children are beginning to develop early reading skills as they recognise their name and familiar words, and others can form letters to write their name. For instance, children keenly say each letter sound of a familiar word as they read it. Staff work towards their ethos of supporting children to become happy, independent, confident and sociable. This supports children to develop sound values for later in life.
Children behave well. Staff have clear expectations about behaviour and consistently support children to work together, take turns and use manners. For example, children help each other to complete the large floor puzzle and take turns to rescue the dinosaurs in the sand. Staff offer constant praise and encouragement, which supports children's self-esteem. As a result, the nursery is a happy place.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop more ways for children to choose where they play and learn - provide parents opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas on how to improve the nursery n improve staff induction to make it more robust for staff that are working temporarily at the nursery.

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.
