Peter Pans Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Ilford for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2024. Open since 2016, with 50 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 Redbridge
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Redbridge 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 arrive happy and eager as they enter this friendly and nurturing nursery.
Staff promote children's happiness and safety effectively; for instance, they help them to settle easily. Staff quickly form strong, caring bonds with children, and children know and understand how to behave. They are kind and respectful towards each other. Staff plan an ambitious curriculum across all the age groups to help support children's learning and development. Staff show a genuine interest and join in, and they respond warmly to babies during the breakfast routine. Staff support babies to walk independently and provide a range of opportunities for them to move throughout the day. For example, babies sit on a push-along wheeled toy and show confidence in their movements.
Babies are supported to develop their physical skills. They listen and respond to simple instructions as staff encourage them to feed themselves. Staff wait for toddlers to speak and communicate first, supporting them to lead a conversation.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan a clear focus on developing staff's understanding of how children grow and develop to help them better support children to learn n consider different ways to extend children's interests and knowledge beyond the nursery.

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.
