Pimlico Nursery
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Pimlico for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in November 2023. Open since 2013, with 16 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 Westminster
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Westminster 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's well-being at the heart of everything they do. This is seen throughout their consistently sensitive and nurturing interactions with children which promote secure and affectionate bonds. Children show that they feel extremely safe and are full of confidence at the setting. For instance, they giggle joyfully with staff and express themselves freely as they sing. Staff are excellent role models and have extremely high expectations for children's behaviour. Children learn from their positive relationships with staff and demonstrate a very caring and helpful approach towards others.
The manager and staff are firmly committed to helping each child in the setting to achieve their best. They carefully create a rich and inspiring curriculum which fosters children's readiness for school and beyond. For instance, children become superbly independent with their personal care. They manage tasks, such as wiping their noses and putting on their coats, from a young age. Staff are extremely calm and encouraging. They inspire children to explore their fascinations and support them to complete tasks for themselves. This contributes to children's strong motivation and clear love of learning. Children demonstrate this as they set themselves challenges, such as climbing the big ladder to the slide. They concentrate well and do not become discouraged when tasks are difficult.

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.
