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 Haringey

What it is like to attend
Staff provide a vibrant environment, which is welcoming and safe. Children are very well settled, happy and have positive attitudes to their play. They are independent and choose the activities they like to play with throughout the day. Staff provide an engaging curriculum that keeps children active and involved. They plan exciting and challenging experiences to motivate children's learning and development. Staff interact positively with children and make activities enjoyable. Staff encourage and support children's communication and language skills effectively. For example, children begin to verbally express their needs at a young age in response to staff's interactions. Staff introduce new concepts and vocabulary to children in a variety of ways, such as they use props, puppets, books and picture cards.
Children behave very well. Staff treat children with kindness and respect. Children receive consistent praise and recognition for their achievements. This promotes children's confidence and self-esteem. Children benefit from various activities that promote their understanding of equality and diversity. Staff celebrate children's cultural backgrounds through music, food and family traditions. They also value and recognise the different languages spoken by children and their families, inviting parents to read stories in these languages. This approach helps children to develop a strong sense of community spirit. All children, including those in receipt of additional funding, make good progress from their starting points in development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider more closely how to adapt activities to ensure that all children, in particular quieter children, fully engage and benefit from the learning opportunities n strengthen opportunities to extend children's learning further so that they consistently have time to think of ideas and responses for themselves.

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
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.
