A day nursery in Feltham 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 December 2023. Open since 2010, with 36 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 Hounslow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hounslow 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 of all ages enjoy being at this nursery. They arrive eager to start playing and receive a warm welcome from the staff at the door. Staff encourage children to put their belongings away and put their indoor shoes on by themselves. This helps children to practise being independent and develop a sense of self-confidence.
Children are able to move resources around the room to support their play. This supports their imaginations. For example, children take play dough into the home corner and uses it to stick two pieces of food together to make a 'sandwich'.
Toddlers create houses for animals out of bricks. Babies explore moving items with magnets and carry these around the room. Children have fun exploring the varied activities on offer.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to reflect on their practice to further enhance their teaching 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.
