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
Babies and children are exceptionally happy, safe and settled in a nurturing environment within this day care in the school community. They benefit from consistent routines, excellent care and a highly skilled and dedicated staff team.
Children form secure attachments with their key persons, who know them well and respond with sensitivity. For example, staff warmly support children who have newly started to settle through gradual visits, close supervision and play-based reassurance. Babies thrive in homely and stimulating spaces, such as the sensory room and soft play. Staff use these areas to promote children's independence and early physical development. Staff consistently model exemplary behaviour and set high expectations. They use positive praise to celebrate children's kindness and maturity. For example, when older children include younger ones in their play and offer them support, staff highlight and reinforce these moments. This approach nurtures respect, empathy and cooperation across the setting. As a result, children demonstrate excellent behaviour.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive swift and targeted support through close partnerships with parents and carers, the school leadership team and external agencies. This ensures that children make exceptionally strong progress from their starting points in development. The curriculum is broad and ambitious, shaped by children's interests and developmental needs. From making pizzas to exploring the mud kitchen, staff skilfully extend children's learning, develop their communication and build their problem-solving skills. Staff use high-quality resources, indoors and outdoors, to inspire children's curiosity and imaginations. Children grow into confident, independent and resilient learners. They are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education.

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.
