Trinity Childcare
Good★ 4.9 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2024. Open since 2011, with 53 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 Southwark
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Southwark 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 fully engaged in their play. Staff plan and provide activities to support a curriculum that has high expectations for all children's learning. Staff track children's development to ensure they make good progress from their starting points. Children hold and cuddle their 'babies', finding additional resources to feed and change their dolls. Children share their thoughts and ideas on how to look after the 'baby' with friends and staff. Children have access to outside space and participate in a range of planned physical activities, including dancing and ball skills.
Parents state how, from the very first visit, they feel supported, and the information they share is valued by the staff in the setting. Parents feel fully involved in their child's learning, as they receive daily handovers and have access to videos and photographs via an online application. They appreciate termly meetings with their child's key person to discuss and plan their child's next stage in learning.
Children with additional needs and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. The setting's special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) makes prompt referrals for support. Behaviour is good, as children have clear expectations about how to interact with others, supported by the use of pictures displayed throughout the setting.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of activities to enable all children to participate in adultled group sessions effectively n use all opportunities to encourage children's independence through everyday activities and routines.

Still missing for Trinity Childcare

- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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.
