What childcare usually costs in Richmond upon Thames
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Richmond upon Thames 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 happy and keen learners in this stimulating nursery. Staff take great care to ensure that babies settle happily and build close relationships with children.
They have high expectations of children and appreciate each child as an individual.
Children look forward to mealtimes where they eat freshly prepared, very wholesome organic food that they enjoy thoroughly. Staff manage children's behaviour in positive ways. They treat children respectfully and support them to reach a fair resolution. Staff remind children of the value of being kind to each other and to share and take turns.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- introduce ambitious new vocabulary to older children to enhance their language skills further n consider ways to strengthen the implementation of the curriculum by enabling children to develop their problem-solving skills further.

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.
