GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Isleworth for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 2008, 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 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 enjoy attending this nursery. They hang their name up when they arrive and enjoy seeing photos of themselves on display. This helps to support their sense of belonging in the nursery. Staff make special books with children's family photos in, which children choose to look at with their friends. They know children well and plan activities which spark their interest and support their learning and development. The curriculum ensures that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make progress. Staff identify any gaps in children's learning quickly and put support in place.
Children's behaviour is good. Staff encourage children to share and take turns.
They support children to talk about how they are feeling at key times during the day and there is a space if they want to sit quietly. Staff organise the day so that children spend time engaging with their friends of all ages in the nursery. They also plan additional small-group activities to ensure that their teaching is relevant to children's different stages of development and interests. Older children offer encouragement to their friends. For instance, they help each other to draw hearts on the whiteboard. Children praise their friends when they stand back and look at what they have drawn. They are excited to share their achievements with staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that all staff consistently reinforce their expectations for children to support them to further develop their self-care skills n strengthen staff's awareness of when to engage with children, to ensure that their interactions are of a consistently high quality throughout the day.

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.
