The Beanstalk Montessori Nursery School Limited
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:30 to 16:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in September 2022. Open since 2004, with 40 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 Hammersmith and Fulham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hammersmith and Fulham 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 thrive at this setting and learn what they need to be successful in for their future. Staff have an excellent understanding of what each child knows and needs to learn next. They use this information to plan activities carefully to help children achieve the next steps in their learning. Children show excellent focus and attention as they take part in these activities. For example, they experiment with how to make water flow at different speeds down a ramp and watch intently as the water flows down the ramp each time. This means that children make exceptional progress.
Children develop their independent skills very well. They carefully take glasses off the shelf, pour themselves a drink and put their paintings independently onto the drying rack. Developing skills such as these helps children to build their self confidence and prepares them well for the next stage in their learning journey.
Children form strong attachments to staff. They are keen to show them their achievements and approach them for comfort. Children respond well to the high expectations that staff have of what they can achieve. They persevere when they find something challenging. For example, when completing a jigsaw puzzle, children do not give up even if this is hard for them. Children feel pride when staff explain how proud they are of the children for persevering.

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.
