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 Harrow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Harrow 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 at the nursery excited and ready to learn. Staff provide a warm and nurturing approach to each child's care. All children make progress from their starting points in development. Children settle quickly, with consistent reassurance from staff to help them to feel safe and secure. Children flourish while discovering and exploring their environments. Staff have high expectations for children. They plan activities that capture children's interests and motivate them in their learning.
This helps to close gaps in children's development. For example, staff support older children to develop their awareness of mathematical concepts as they discover the different animals in a large tray. They encourage children to describe what they have found, count and compare the different animal sizes.
Staff provide children with an abundance of praise following their contributions.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- embed the current systems for monitoring and coaching staff to extend their individual practice, to deliver the curriculum even more effectively and extend the learning of older and most-able children.

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.
