Good★ 4.6 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Ruislip 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2024. Open since 1997, 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 Hillingdon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hillingdon from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Staff consistently engage in warm and friendly interactions with children. Children are confident to share their thoughts and achievements. For example, with staff support, children stand up in front of their friends and proudly share what they do at home with their family. This shows they are happy and feel secure in the setting.
Staff are positive role models and praise children for good behaviour. Children are active outdoors as they take part in risky play on a range of equipment safely.
Additionally, they benefit from a healthy and nutritious diet. This promotes their good health.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop teaching further around self-help skills n support staff to help children to understand the impact of their behaviour on themselves and others.

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.
