The Kindergarten Nursery Schools Limited
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2023. Open since 2020, with 55 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 Barnet
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Barnet 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
Staff help children to settle quickly and happily. They build trusting relationships and create a warm and friendly atmosphere. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Since the last inspection, the dedicated team worked tirelessly to make all needed improvements, so that every child gets the best possible start in life.
Leaders design a well-planned, broad, and stimulating curriculum, which children benefit from. Children enjoy meaningful learning experiences that staff carefully plan, taking into consideration children's individual learning needs and their next steps. This leads to children making good progress in relation to their starting points in development. This includes children who speak English as an additional language.
Children confidently make choices as they play. For example, they use a choosing box to tell adults which song they want to sing next. Staff often ask children what they wish to do next and follow their lead in play. This helps children to be more actively involved in their own learning and supports their communication and language skills. Staff have high expectations of children. They work closely with parents to support children to manage their feelings and to teach them right from wrong. Subsequently, children display positive behaviour and treat others well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review organisation of group activities to ensure that all children remain immersed in their learning n ensure that praise is linked to children's achievements and that they are aware what actions they are being praised for.

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.
