Nuffy Bear Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 April 2022. Open since 2010, 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 Brent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Brent 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 play and learn in a positive and caring environment. They have built strong relationships with their peers and adults in the setting. This supports their emotional well-being effectively. Children smile as they arrive and settle quickly into the routine.
Children are enthusiastic and excited to see what activities they can play with. They have built strong friendships and enjoy playing with one another. They have plenty of opportunities to develop their language and learn new words. Children enjoy looking at books and reading stories. They sing along to familiar songs and use musical instruments to explore different sounds.
Children behave well and have a positive attitude to their learning. There are clear rules, boundaries and routines that the children learn to follow. Children show respect for their environment and others by tidying up their toys before moving on to the next activity. Children benefit from the staff, who act as good role models.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to build on and provide further challenge to extend children's learning - strengthen partnerships with parents to enable them to contribute more to their children's learning.

- Waiting list
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.
