Rosemary Works EYC Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2025. Open since 2008, with 102 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 Hackney
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hackney 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
Staff are nurturing, and they warmly welcome children when they arrive at this vibrant and friendly nursery. They greet children eagerly and are reassuring and attentive to children's needs. Staff know that children learn best when they feel safe and secure. They spend time getting to know children and develop positive relationships with them. Staff create a caring and fostering environment in which children can grow and develop. Consequently, children are excited to learn and settle quickly, eager to play.
Children are curious learners. Staff plan a curriculum that supports children to continuously develop their learning as they move through the nursery. They use children's interests effectively to create activities and experiences for them. For instance, children learn about their emotions. Staff use effective ways to support children to understand their emotions and those of others. Therefore, children are keen to share and take turns, make friends and respond to others with respect and kindness.
Children have lots of opportunities to use their imaginations and be creative. Older children build a train in the garden and eagerly engage staff to join their trip. Staff encourage children to develop their fine motor skills and control over tools, such as using tools for digging and different objects for painting.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to use more effective strategies and allow children to form their own ideas and thoughts, to extend their communication and language skills.

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.
