GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 to 04:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2024. Open since 2010, with 40 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 Wandsworth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wandsworth 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 create a safe and welcoming space where children's well-being and safety are prioritised. The calm, friendly, home-from-home environment ensures children settle easily and gives them confidence to explore the many interesting activities staff plan for them. Children show they are happy, secure and ready to learn as they confidently explore the resources and focus on the things they enjoy. Staff have high expectations of all children, and children behave well. Staff support children to build positive relationships with their friends by encouraging them to help one another or show kindness. Children listen to staff and follow instructions.
Children are enthusiastic, active learners. They make the most of playing indoors and outdoors, having fun as they go. Staff engage children in play that is meaningful, such as exploring water and developing their physical skills by learning to balance and throwing balls. This supports their overall development and helps them to make good progress. Staff support children's emotional well-being by offering praise and reassurance when children need it. They interact warmly during care routines, such as nappy changing and rest times.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve staff's understanding of how to support children's language development further to extend learning n help staff to support children's understanding of behavioural expectations and boundaries, to further promote their self-regulation.

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.
