Queensberry Nursery
Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2024. Open since 2006, with 64 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 Kensington and Chelsea
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kensington and Chelsea 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 build strong bonds with warm, caring staff, who value each child highly.
Staff help children to feel secure and settle well. For instance, they carefully follow babies' routines from home to meet their needs and support their well-being. Staff have high expectations of children and manage their behaviour effectively. For example, they share group rules with children and use praise to promote their positive behaviour successfully.
The curriculum is broad, balanced and interesting. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress. Children gain a good understanding about the world. For instance, staff regularly take children to local museums. They teach children about the lifestyles of different animals, such as polar bears, dinosaurs and kangaroos. Staff plant and grow seeds with children to teach them how things grow.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- give children more time to think and respond to questions to support their thinking skills further n develop children's understanding of the value of eating well.

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.
