Treetops 2A The Grove
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2023. Open since 1994, with 52 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 Ealing
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Ealing 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 enjoy their time at this welcoming and nurturing nursery.
They build positive relationships with staff. Children are keen to take part in a range of interesting and challenging activities, which are carefully planned to enable sequenced learning of the curriculum. They welcome praise and recognition for their choices, which helps to raise their self-esteem. For instance, children choose to engage in sensory learning with flour, making faces that show varying emotions.
During group times, children learn about emotions. They express how they are feeling and the reasons for this. Children confidently describe their feelings and relate these to the book on emotions they are reading. This also helps them to learn and understand the feelings of their peers. For example, they carefully sing songs with staff about sharing and caring to remind themselves to be kind to friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- give children opportunities to extend their thinking as they engage in play so that their quality of education is improved n enable new staff to develop their understanding of children's prior learning, to ensure their progress is consistently supported.

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.
