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 Merton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Merton 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 provide many opportunities and experiences to help to develop children's skills, in all areas of learning and development, overall. Staff support children to be confident and independent learners in a challenging and busy environment. For example, very young children independently crawl, cruise furniture and toddle as they explore their environment. They confidently negotiate uneven surfaces outdoors to help to practise their physical abilities. Toddlers firmly hold chunky chalk and crayons and excitedly notice the random marks they make. Older children concentrate as they investigate early maths concepts, including counting, sorting and comparison. Children are keen and motivated learners.
Staff create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment to help to develop children's sense of belonging, emotional well-being and security. For example, staff sing songs, blow bubbles and provide lots of cuddles for new children. Children begin to develop close attachments with a key person. They show that they are emotionally secure, feel safe and settle quickly. Staff are good role models. They help children to learn how to keep themselves safe, how to behave well and to show respect for one another. Children demonstrate positive behaviour.
Staff ensure they meet the needs of all children. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported particularly well by competent and experienced staff. Consequently, all children make good progress and achieve the best they can.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- explore ways to build on the already good-quality teaching to a consistently high level, and extend staff's understanding of what they intend children to learn.

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.
