Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Nursery education funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.
Worth knowing. If you qualify for nursery education funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds you pay no fees. Where funding is not received then full session fees apply.
What childcare usually costs in Harrow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Harrow 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 thrive in this calm environment, which fully embraces a child-centred approach. Each child is truly valued as an individual. The wide range of activities offered to children are planned by staff to include their interests as well as stretch their development. These activities support children to make excellent progress.
Children are highly motivated to take part in the variety of interesting activities and demonstrate very high levels of engagement. For example, during a cutting and sticking activity, children show high levels of concentration as they create small individual collages. They are shown how to hold scissors correctly and follow instructions from the staff. Children carefully cut picture shapes out of catalogues before gluing these to their individual papers. Staff give ownership to the children during activities, resulting in children demonstrating high levels of self-esteem and pride in their achievements.
Children are relaxed and comfortable in the care of the professional, dedicated staff and demonstrate high levels of emotional security. Staff provide lots of praise and encouragement, resulting in children developing a 'can-do' attitude. Children demonstrate high levels of respect for each other, waiting their turn, sharing and saying 'please' and 'thank you' regularly, without staff prompting them.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £26.70 a session still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
