Salisbury Day Care
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2023. Open since 2015, with 26 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 Newham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Newham 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 supported to settle at the nursery by kind and considerate staff. Staff reassure children as they arrive with warm greetings and soothing words, helping them to feel safe and secure. They know children well and adapt their care and learning approaches to children's individual needs. For example, staff recognise that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from some individual time with staff when they arrive to help them to settle into the routines of the day.
Staff find out and plan for children's interests and learning needs through interesting topics. Staff provide opportunities for children to develop the skills required for the future. For example, children manipulate play dough and mix paint to make marks with paintbrushes. This helps to strengthen children's arm and hand muscles for later writing. Children develop a keen interest in reading. They choose to look at books and listen to many stories read by staff.
Staff follow plans that clearly identify the knowledge children will learn and in what order. They check regularly what children know, understand and can do. They use this information to decide what children need to learn next. Children, including those with SEND, and who speak English as an additional language, make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to strengthen their teaching strategies to consistently challenge and extend children's learning n strengthen the coaching and mentoring of new senior staff to ensure that all interactions and experiences for children are of equally high quality.

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.
