Newpin Family Centre
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2024. Open since 2016, with 16 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 Westminster
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Westminster 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
Managers and staff provide a safe and calm environment, where children feel emotionally secure. They have a kind and caring approach and purposefully interact with children during their play. Children receive individual attention. This helps them to feel safe and build close relationships with staff. Staff gather detailed information from parents when children first attend, which helps them to understand children's preferences and provides reassurance. They plan challenging activities that align with children's interests and cover all areas of the curriculum.
For example, children explore movement and texture by focusing on different-sized toy cars and understanding how the garage lift works.
Children enjoy looking at books, listening to stories and singing songs. This helps them to develop their speech and learn new words quickly. Older children enjoy retelling familiar stories and engaging in role play with each other. Children make good progress in their communication and language development. Staff speak clearly and listen carefully, which helps children to become confident communicators. Staff serve as positive role models for children and provide them with praise to boost their confidence in their abilities. Staff gently remind children about being polite and using good manners. Children are very well behaved.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- increase opportunities for children to manage simple routine tasks, to further support their emerging independence
- review the organisation and planning for outdoor activities to maximise children's learning when they are outdoors.

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.
