MTO Nursery
Good★ 4.8 on GoogleBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2023. Open since 2015, with 48 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 Haringey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Haringey 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 excitedly arrive at nursery and are warmly welcomed by friendly staff.
They quickly settle and are eager to find out what activities are on offer. Children demonstrate they are comfortable and feel safe in this homely environment. They are motivated to learn and confidently choose an activity to engage with. Staff know children well and are sensitive to children's individual needs. Their positive and meaningful interactions enhance children's knowledge and skills as they play.
For example, babies delight in exploring coloured foam using their senses and staff introduce key words, such as 'pop' and 'gone'. Babies giggle with staff as they pop and squeeze foam together.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review and implement clearer routines for younger children, particularly at transition times n enhance the organisation of group activities to develop children's attention and involvement to higher levels.

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.
