A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 December 2024. Open since 2023, with 95 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 Hammersmith and Fulham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hammersmith and Fulham 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 to come to nursery. They arrive to a warm welcome from staff, who are kind and nurturing. Children feel safe and secure as staff take time to establish warm and positive relationships with children and their families. Children often check in with staff during the day for a cuddle of reassurance before going back to their play. Staff are positive role models who talk to children throughout the day and model expectations. Children learn about their feelings and emotions from a young age. For example, when settling disputes, staff encourage children to think about alternative solutions. Children say that they can use the sand timer to wait their turn or take one resource each rather than using two for themselves. As a result, children have a good attitude to their learning and behave very well.
The leadership team has worked hard to make the necessary changes since the last inspection. Every area of concern has been evaluated and improved so that children receive the best possible care. The curriculum is ambitious and varied so that children can reach their full potential. Staff have improved their knowledge of safeguarding and they know what procedures to follow if they have concerns. This helps to keep children safe from harm.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the systems in place for the monitoring and development of staff's professional development, and carefully reflect on the impact that the training has on the quality of education in all rooms n review and adapt the organisation of activities to help all children to remain fully focused and highly engaged with the learning taking place in all rooms.

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.
