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 Richmond upon Thames

What it is like to attend
Children arrive to nursery happy and leave their parents with ease. They are greeted by enthusiastic and smiling staff. Children seek out their key persons for a reassuring cuddle or smile while exploring the room. Staff know children well and build strong relationships with them. This helps children with their emotional security, helping them to feel safe and secure.
Children's behaviour is good. They understand the rules in the nursery. Staff role model their expectations well, gently reminding children of the rules, such as 'good listening' and 'kind hands'. Children play happily alongside each other and develop a strong sense of well-being.
Leaders have designed an ambitious and sequenced curriculum, with a focus on supporting children's well-being. Staff provide a range of activities to ensure that children make the best progress as they move through the nursery. They quickly identify children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and ensure that timely support is put in place. Children with SEND make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with sufficient time to share their thoughts and ideas to further support their communication skills n identify ways to further develop staff's knowledge and skills and support their professional development to extend children's learning even 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.
