Planet Tiny Preschool
OutstandingBirth 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2023. Open since 2022, with 30 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
Children thrive in this setting. They have many meaningful opportunities and experiences to practise what they learn. Children quickly master skills they need for the next stages in their learning. For example, they pretend to be geologists and wash rocks they have found on their nature trail. Children learn about different patterns, as they use small hammers use magnifying glasses and to look more closely at the geodes. They compare size and colour of amethysts and agate pieces. Children record their findings using paper and pens to draw or make marks.
This helps them to make learning meaningful, relevant, and memorable.
Staff follow children's curiosity and children's lead, to maximise their learning. For instance, children's imaginary experiences are superb. They make shopping lists before they go to their role play shop. Staff skilfully ask children what ingredients they will need to make pies and soup. Children explain each ingredients they will need to make tomato soup. Staff provide knives and chopping boards for them to practise carefully cutting vegetables to add to their soup. Children have an exceptional knowledge of how to keep themselves safe. They independently risk assess during learning opportunities.

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.
