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 Kensington and Chelsea
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kensington and Chelsea 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 highly confident to say goodbye to their parents and carers at the gate. They quickly re-establish their routine following the summer holidays and demonstrate they have retained their knowledge of how to behave. New children are exceptionally well supported to settle in. The setting has an extremely flexible approach to settling new children in that prioritises children's emotional well-being.
Staff expertly identify children's emotional needs and tailor their interactions to build a trusting relationship with each child.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. Older children play cooperatively together with space-themed toys. They are highly respectful of each other and listen to each other's ideas for building a rocket ship. Staff plan exciting science experiments that stimulate children's feelings of awe and wonder. They skilfully use questions to encourage children to predict what will happen next. Children are highly motivated to join in with the planned activities that stimulate their interest. Pre-school children are inspired by famous artists to develop their creativity and create spacethemed artworks of their own.

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.
