Park Avenue Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Enfield for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 15:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2024. Open since 2016, with 30 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 Enfield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Enfield 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 place children and their families at the heart of everything they do. They provide a warm welcome and get to know each child well when they start to attend. Staff create a stimulating environment with a variety of resources based on children's interests. Children enjoy exploring the different areas of the pre-school and independently accessing activities. For example, children access the cosy corner and select their favourite books, which staff read to them. Staff support children to extend their thoughts and ideas through positive interactions, helping
children play amicably and develop their imaginary play ideas. This helps children thoroughly enjoy their time at the pre school.
Staff spend one-to-one time with children to help build strong bonds. This helps children settle well and enjoy close and nurturing relationships with staff. Children generally behave well and learn rules that teach them about respect and acceptable behaviour, such as 'good listening'. Independence skills are regularly supported by staff. Children demonstrate a good understanding of their own selfcare needs. Children wash their hands before eating snack, and after going to the toile and blow their own noses and place tissues in the dustbin.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to review children's learning opportunities to enable the quieter children to fully participate n continue to support staff with their professional development, to develop and enhance their teaching skills further.

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.
