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 are greeted by friendly staff when they arrive at this pre-school. They are confident to leave their parents at the door and happily join their friends and adults to quickly engage in a range of activities. They are able to access all areas of learning through the well-organised spaces, both indoors and outdoors.
Staff plan an ambitious curriculum for the children who attend. They make sure they incorporate early mathematics and literacy skills into everyday routines with children. Staff promote progress for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) by carefully adapting their expectations of them and the support they have in place. They provide extension activities for children who are getting ready to move on to school.
Children's personal, social and emotional skills are well supported by staff. They are thoughtful towards each other, and their independence skills are encouraged, being given a tissue to wipes their own noses if they need wiping. They take turns to serve themselves fruit at snack time and tidy up their bowls and cups when they have finished.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further support children to manage their own behaviour by deepening their understanding of why they need to follow rules.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
