West Green Playgroup
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A pre-school in London for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2018, with 24 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 Haringey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Haringey 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 happy in this nurturing playgroup. Staff support children to develop their self-esteem and confidence. They give children opportunities to problem-solve throughout the day. For example, when a child struggles to complete an outdoor activity, a member of staff gives suggestions. The child works through the suggestions, with some ideas of their own, and completes the activity. There is clear excitement at their achievement. This gives children a great feeling of pride and instils a 'can-do' attitude.
Staff have worked hard to create a curriculum that has children at the centre.
Activities are planned to children's interests. Staff hold high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and learning opportunities are carefully planned to ensure that all children achieve their potential.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to enhance the organisation of activities so that children are able to join others who are already engaged n strengthen communication between staff to ensure that there is a moreconsistent approach to transitions within the playgroup.

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.
