What it is like to attend
Children have an incredible start to their education at this nursery. Each day is a new opportunity to experience awe and wonder, where staff facilitate an astounding array of stimulating activities. Children are highly motivated to learn and are deeply engaged in activities of their choosing. They show remarkable levels of confidence as they test out ideas during a petrol-making activity, commenting on the differences between oil and water and the speed they travel through pipes the children put together. Children's learning is consistently extended by knowledgeable staff who ask them complex questions. This supports children with their critical thinking.
Children show formidable confidence as they lead their own play, building on what they know, playing imaginatively in the mechanics shop. They defy gender stereotypes, crawling under the car to repair it, and calling a customer to let them know their engine is fixed. Babies and toddlers delight in sensory experiences.
They squeeze and squash fruits, developing muscles using a range of tools. Staff are incredibly sensitive and caring towards children. This ensures they feel safe and secure. The dedicated staff are persistent in securing professional support to children with special educational needs. This ensures that all children make exceptional progress.

Still missing for Wimbledon Day Nursery
- What it costs
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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
