What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
What childcare usually costs in Greenwich
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Greenwich 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
Leaders and staff share their passion to promote children's creativity through learning experiences, such as music, dance and drama. Staff support individual children well to build confidence to participate in these activities. Children learn to move their bodies to music. For example, they learn to sway ribbons in the air as they dance.
Staff are caring and friendly in their interactions with children. The children are happy to see the staff on arrival. For example, some smile and some wave to the staff when they greet them. Children who need support on arrival settle quickly with reassurance from their key person.
Staff are good role models for children to learn from. They teach children to take account of the needs of their peers and to be respectful in their interactions with others. Children behave well and play cooperatively with each other. They listen well to instructions from staff and learn to keep themselves safe during play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the implementation of planning to consistently enhance opportunities for children to achieve the intended aims, particularly with regards to some group activities n strengthen opportunities for children to explore a wider range of physical experiences that offer them more challenge, suitable for their ages and stages of development.

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.
