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 Newham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Newham 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 arrive happy and eager to play. They are secure and settled, and have strong relationships with each other and staff. Children predict sequences because they know the setting's routines. They know when they arrive they are offered a nutritious breakfast. They sit around the table with their friends and make choices about what they want to eat. Children enjoy listening to stories and can remember what happens. They are familiar with the story of 'Three Little Pigs' and they create their own pictures of the houses the pigs build. They learn that the moral of the story is that hard work pays off. Children develop their vocabulary and understand instructions as they are told to put their shoes on to play outside. Children who speak English as an additional language quickly learn to speak it well.
Children develop responsibility and a sense of belonging. For example, they are given small tasks to do, such as clearing their plates and cutting up their own fruit at snack time. Children build on their physical development well as they play
'What's the time, the manager in the garden. They change pace while moving across the outdoor space, as they are chased by staff who are playing the 'wolf'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that all areas of the environment are consistently tidy and hygienic.
- continue to support staff's ongoing practice, so that they can help children to deepen and consolidate their progress across the areas of learning.

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.
