Worth knowing. As a Charity, we are committed to enabling all children in our local community to access their entitlement to free nursery education. This means that we will NOT: charge any fees for your child to join the waiting list; ask for a deposit to secure your child's place; charge you top-up fees to access for child's free place.
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 and comfortable in the nursery. They move freely between outdoors and inside and choose how they want to play. Children are keen to learn and they concentrate well with activities that interest them. They enjoy exploring outdoors as they experiment and use their imaginations. Children are focused as they share the planting resources. They are excited to talk together about the worm they have found as they watch it moving around in the mud. Children play together well and friendships are flourishing.
Children look forward to daily opportunities to join in with songs and story time.
Staff provide a good selection of reading material and children enjoy choosing books, which they often look at independently. Children's confidence grows, and they eagerly copy new words. They listen and show their understanding as they follow the staff's instructions. Children sit and concentrate well for regular smallgroup sessions. During this time, staff introduce new words linked to activities. This helps to support children's communication and language skills. Children confidently sing and show great pride as they follow the instructions, clapping and smiling when they have finished.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the interactions staff have with children during large-group activities, particularly during outdoor play n refine the planning of children's learning to help incorporate their next steps for learning more consistently into their play n continue to improve the existing good systems for communication, to further enhance effective information sharing with all parents.

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.
