A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in February 2022. Open since 1992, with 30 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 Westminster
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Westminster 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 enthusiastic learners, who love coming to nursery. They are extremely happy and demonstrate high levels of emotional security, confidence and self-esteem. Children's interests and love for learning are at the heart of every decision staff make. Children thoroughly enjoy exploring the ambitious curriculum in the carefully planned environment. This particularly supports those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All children make excellent progress from their starting points. They make independent choices from highly motivating activities that capture their curiosity for learning. For example, children are intrigued by the lights linked to a mark-making activity to engage them. They are completely involved in play and learning, consistently smiling and laughing together. For example, children eagerly join in as they look at and care for the nursery's African snails. They smile and giggle with excitement and they relish the praise they receive from staff. Children confidently talk about their learning using rich vocabulary.
Children behave exceptionally well. They work together extremely well as they dig and climb on upturned crates or play games, including 'What's the time the manager?'
in the garden. Children develop secure relationships with staff. They confidently seek reassurance when needed, in the form of a supportive hand or a cuddle at the friendship bench. Staff support children in developing independence through wellestablished daily routines.

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.
