Tomberries Nursery
Good★ 4.5 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Southfields 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 October 2024. Open since 2017, with 60 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 Wandsworth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wandsworth 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
Leaders and managers have taken action to improve since the last inspection. They have sought guidance from the local authority and an early years consultant. They have provided learning opportunities for staff to develop their knowledge and understanding of their role, so that staff can support children's learning well.
Children build secure relationships with staff, who are kind and nurturing. Staff warmly greet children and give them lots of cuddles as they arrive. They display photos of children's family members, which helps children to feel at home. Babies smile at their friends and happily play alongside each other. Staff support older children to develop their social skills. They encourage children to cooperate in group activities, such as making flapjacks together to share with their friends.
Children enjoy playing outdoors. They giggle with delight as they splash in the puddles. Children gain confidence in their physical skills as they run and jump.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop planning further so all children are supported to take part in meaningful learning opportunities and develop positive attitudes to their learning n enhance the organisation of routines so children learn to manage their own behaviour.

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.
