Platform One Nursery Ltd
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2023. Open since 2001, with 32 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 Enfield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Enfield 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 feel happy and safe in this nurturing nursery. Babies are reassured by the familiar routines and secure relationships with their key persons. As a result, they confidently explore the resources and babble to staff during their play. Older children enjoy the wide range of experiences on offer to them. They are eager to express their ideas and needs because they know that staff will listen and respond to them. For instance, children tell staff that they would like to have paints out rather than play dough. This enables them to explore their interest and curiosity in mixing colours. They focus intently on the activity and are excited by the discoveries that they make.
Children respond positively to staff's high expectations. They know how they should behave and why. This helps to keep the environment and the daily routines calm and orderly. Children develop their independence from an early age. For instance, babies learn to use cutlery and take their shoes off when coming in from the garden. Older children skilfully peel and slice the fruit for their snacks. Children enjoy being active and love to spend time in their garden. They develop their larger-muscle movements as they climb, balance and ride scooters.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to broaden children's understanding of the benefits of living healthy lifestyles n support staff to develop their teaching skills and knowledge of the early years curriculum, to further strengthen the good practice and improve outcomes for children.

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.
