Good★ 4.8 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2022. Open since 2017, with 57 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 happily attend the nursery. Staff gladly listen to their parents about children's learning and care needs. Children have familiar routines and experiences, which help to structure their day. Children are comfortable at the nursery. Some children excitedly talk to staff, and some are quieter, with beaming smiles.
The managers and staff have an ambitious learning programme in place. This helps children to make good progress from their starting points at the nursery. The special educational needs coordinator works effectively with parents and outside agencies to ensure that all children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive good support. This has a positive impact on the quality of education that all children receive.
The manager is improving and embedding behaviour management strategies through staff training. Staff set clear expectations to help children to understand how to be share and take turns when they are learning together. This approach has a positive impact on children's behaviour.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- assist staff to use more-effective strategies to help children to extend their language skills n support children to be more engaged in their learning, to raise their achievements to a higher level n develop staff's understanding of how to support children's independence in managing tasks by themselves, and help build further on these 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.
