What childcare usually costs in Harrow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Harrow 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 are happy coming into nursery and settle well with the help of supportive members of staff. Children receive praise for their efforts and persist in activities when they are engaged by staff. Children are offered a theme-based curriculum, which, overall, provides them with a range of interesting and challenging activities.
This captures their interest and supports their learning. For example, children use counting bears for a numeracy activity, as they are learning about the traditional tale 'Goldilocks'. Children progress well, and staff have a thorough understanding of supporting the needs of all the children.
Children have access to a well-equipped outdoor area, which has a range of equipment, including bikes, scooters and hula hoops, providing children good opportunities to build on their physical skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend opportunities to support children's growing independence n enable older children to have their learning challenged and further extended.

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.
