Villas Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 09:00 to 15:00, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 1992, with 15 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
Staff greet children and parents warmly on arrival. This supports children to feel safe and secure. Children enter the nursery happily, with big smiles on their faces.
They demonstrate that they thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery. Children show their independence as they hang up their coats and find their names for the registration board. Children initiate their own play and are interested to play with a wide range of resources, which are easily accessible. For example, they explore with construction toys to create designs and bring their ideas to life. Despite facing some challenges, children persevere with their play, and they proudly show staff what they have built. This helps to build children's confidence, resilience and selfesteem.
Children's behaviour is good. They have lovely manners, and when they forget to use them, staff kindly remind them. They are kind and considerate to each other and know how to share resources appropriately. For example, when using the bat and ball in the garden, children pass them around so others can take turns.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure the ambitions of the curriculum are met by providing children with more challenge to extend their learning to the highest levels - build on staff's questioning techniques to allow children time to think and respond, helping them to express their own ideas.

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.
