A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 December 2023. Open since 2010, with 37 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 Lambeth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lambeth 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 warmly welcomed into the setting. Staff are kind and caring, providing children with a range of activities and learning opportunities that are linked to their interests. For example, children benefit from dressing-up activities that support their imagination and enjoy singing familiar songs in Spanish and English. This helps children to settle well and make good progress. Children effortlessly engage in conversations with staff and each other in both Spanish and English. The curriculum is well thought out and designed to support children to achieve the next steps in their individual learning journeys. Through engagement and high-quality communication, staff keep the children focused and interested in their learning.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and are strong role models for the children in the setting. Children learn to take turns and share. Staff offer gentle guidance and support as children manage conflict resolution in a fair manner. For example, children share resources when doing a creative activity. Staff offer praise and guidance to the children, which they respond to with smiles.
Children have access to a large garden that supports their developing physical skills. For example, children enjoy the climbing frame. Staff are always nearby to support children with these skills and help them to develop spatial awareness and manage their safety. Children joyfully play number games with their friends, such as 'What's the time the manager?'. This supports the development of early mathematical skills and number recognition.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to support all children to share their thoughts and ideas during learning and play activities.

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.
