A pre-school in Coney Hall for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in February 2022. Open since 1996, with 40 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 Bromley
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bromley 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 enthusiastic learners, who love coming to nursery. They are extremely happy and show high levels of emotional security, confidence, and self-esteem.
Children's interests and love for learning are at the heart of every decision staff make. Children develop independence rapidly through daily routines. They thoroughly enjoy exploring the carefully planned environment in an unhurried atmosphere. This particularly supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. All children make outstanding progress from their start points.
Children choose from highly motivating activities that capture their curiosity for learning. They are completely involved in play and learning. They consistently smile and laugh together. Children know songs and rhymes and recite them with great enthusiasm. For example, they eagerly join in songs and their actions, keenly sharing their ideas to demonstrate how a see-saw moves. They smile and giggle with excitement and relish the praise they receive from staff. Children confidently talk about their learning using rich vocabulary.

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.
