Planet Tiny Babies
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2024. Open since 2010, with 11 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 Haringey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Haringey 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
Young children are happy and benefit well from attending this caring, nurturing provision. There is an effective key-person system that supports babies to feel nurtured and supported as they settle into the nursery. Babies develop close bonds with staff, particularly their key person. Staff work closely in partnership with parents, ensuring key information is shared to further strengthen children's transition. There is a strong emphasis on developing communication and language within the curriculum. Staff use multiple effective strategies to promote babies'
emerging voices. For example, they provide a running commentary as babies play, describing what they are doing. Babies really enjoy singing sessions with staff.
They are becoming familiar with nursery rhymes and props from the song bag.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- increase opportunities further for babies to develop their large physical movements.

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.
