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 Lambeth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lambeth 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 and relaxed at this warm, welcoming nursery. Staff create a home-from-home atmosphere and build strong relationships with children from the start. They take time to get to know children's individual characteristics and are highly responsive to their needs. They are patient, kind and caring and give children lots of cuddles and smiles. This helps children feel safe and secure.
Children confidently help themselves to the wide variety of interesting resources and initiate their own play. They are curious to explore the texture of dough and snuggle into cosy areas with books. Staff encourage children to share their ideas, which helps them to find their voices and develop their self-identity. Children are friendly and play well together. Staff teach them to follow simple rules, such as using 'kind hands'. Children learn to control their bodies. Babies have space to crawl and roll, while older children learn to climb and jump outdoors. Staff skilfully tailor their interactions to support children's learning and model how to use resources. For example, they demonstrate how to mix sand and water to make sandcastles.
Staff know children exceptionally well. They follow children's interests to plan experiences that stimulate their learning. The provider is highly ambitious for children to be ready for school. Staff sequence children's learning well to help them build on what they can already do. All children make good progress from their starting points.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to develop group times so they are tailored to meet all children's needs.

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.
