A day nursery in London 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2023. Open since 1999, with 70 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 Brent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Brent 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 arrive happy and excited to see their friends. They greet each other enthusiastically with a big hug at the door. Babies settle in quickly and have strong attachments with kind and gentle staff. This demonstrates that children feel safe and secure. Staff know children's needs well and have worked hard to help them learn to share and take turns. Interesting activities are planned to support this. For example, children in pre-school show excitement as they take turns to feed their fish to the greedy shark.
Staff offer lots of praise for children's efforts and acknowledge their achievements, supporting their confidence and self-esteem. Children behave well and enjoy trying out new things for themselves. For example, children learn about different consistencies when they make their own play dough and mix flour with water.
Plenty of opportunities are provided to support children's independence. For example, toddlers are supported as they put on their coats for outdoor play, while older children self-serve their lunchtime meal. These help children to be well prepared for school. Children enjoy being active as they jump and catch bubbles and instigate imaginative chasing games, strengthening their physical skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review staff interactions with children to support children to test out their own ideas and solve problems.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
