What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
What childcare usually costs in Barnet
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Barnet 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 and safe at this welcoming nursery. They separate easily from their parents and join in with the exciting activities and experiences on offer.
Children form close and secure relationships with staff, who are good role models.
They have high expectations of all children, overall. This helps children to become more confident and have positive attitudes towards their learning. For example, children divide selected books into fiction and non-fiction. They explain that we learn facts and information from non-fiction books.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help children to develop a deeper understanding of practices that support their good health n ensure group activities are consistently planned at the right level for children's age and stage of development.

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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
