The Young Ones Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Uxbridge for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2023. Open since 1992, with 38 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.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy to arrive at this welcoming nursery and show that they feel safe and secure. They give parents a wave and smile to say goodbye and are greeted by warm and friendly staff. Babies settle well. Some are unsure and stay close to their familiar adult who offers them cuddles for comfort. Others coast around their environment and explore the toys on offer. Older children seek out their friends and play in their preferred areas of the room. They regularly invite staff to play with them and are excited to tell them about what they are doing.
Children are delighted when they hear songs. Children use songs for 'tidy-up time'
and for 'music and movement'. They wiggle and giggle as they copy actions to familiar rhymes. Staff spontaneously sing during interactions with children, and this makes children happy. Children play well together. Staff model how children should behave and reinforce these rules. For example, younger children are encouraged to take turns with their toys. Staff tell them whose turn it is now and whose turn it is next. As a result, behaviour is good and older children are considerate towards younger children when engaged in play with them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- allow more opportunities for babies and children to independently explore activities and choose their own way of doing things.

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.
