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 Tower Hamlets
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Tower Hamlets 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 are happy and secure in the nursery. They are confident and have developed a true sense of belonging. Children have access to an environment that is exceptionally well-thought-out and the activities and resources are interesting and inviting. For example, children join in games where they take turns to throw beanbags into a target. They follow instructions, jumping on the spot, hopping, and making funny faces. They take turns and cheer on their friends. Children negotiate, aim, and skilfully throw balls through the basketball hoop. They are learning to be supportive of their friends and develop their balance and coordination skills.
Children make their own choices. They choose what they want to play with and where. Young children play with a cornflour and water mixture. They move their fingers through the liquid, making marks and patterns. Children use their imagination as they play with play dough. They mould the dough into worms and then shorten the worms to create candles for their pretend birthday cakes. Children follow good hygiene procedures. They know to wash their hands after playing outside and after going to the toilet. This promotes their health and well-being.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to make more effective use of opportunities to extend and challenge children's learning n develop staff's understanding of how to promote younger children's independence.

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.
