Treetops Mottingham Day
Good★ 3.7 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2022. Open since 2008, with 50 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 Greenwich
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Greenwich 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 greeted warmly at the door by the friendly practitioners and managers. Key information is gathered from the parents and used to settle children and support them throughout the day. Children have secure relationships with practitioners and generally settle well.
Children are active learners. They are keen and confident to join in with activities and explore the resources indoors and outside. For example, children enjoy going on a bug hunt in the garden and they excitedly explore play dough by manipulating it with their hands and tools. Children tell practitioners what they are making and proudly show their creations to their friends.
Children behave well. They are influenced by the practitioners' positive interactions with each other, and the gentle reminders given to say 'please' and 'thank you'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider using the correct words and pronunciation when speaking to children to enhance children's vocabulary and language development n support practitioners further to recognise when unsettled children need extra emotional support to feel secure in their environment.

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.
