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 Wandsworth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wandsworth 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 enjoy their time at this diverse, welcoming nursery. They develop close bonds with the staff team, who reflect their cultural and religious backgrounds.
Children arrive happy and separate from their parents with ease to join their friends engaged in meaningful play. Staff provide fun opportunities that help to promote children's literacy skills. For example, older children learn to recognise letters of the alphabet and the sounds that they make as they play alphabet bingo. They concentrate intently and jump for joy when they identify letters from their card.
Children's early writings skills are fostered well and they enjoy making marks for purpose. For instance, younger children create lines and circles on paper, while the older children create recognisable stick people on wipe boards with markers.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the organisation of the sleep area and rest time routines, to further promote children's health and well being n strengthen coaching and training for staff, so that it targets their individual development needs and helps raise the quality of education to the highest level.

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.
