A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in December 2022. Open since 2000, with 86 places.
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 Enfield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Enfield 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 highly settled, happy and busy. They thrive in the warm and welcoming environment of the setting. Children have warm relationships with staff, who they seek out to read stories, share ideas and tell them about important things happening in their lives. Children demonstrate high levels of engagement. They are inquisitive and make links to their past learning to help make sense of current experiences. For instance, during a woodwork activity, children explain that they need to wear goggles 'to keep their eyes safe'. Children show immense focus as they carefully hammer nails into wood. They predict if the nail will go through the wood, and they confidently measure and count the nails as they work.
Staff share consistently high expectations for every child. They establish exceptional partnerships with other professionals, such as occupational health and speech therapists. This helps them to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities superbly. For example, staff regularly ask parents to seek advice and review children's progress. All children make good progress.
Children's behaviour is outstanding. They demonstrate huge amounts of kindness towards others. For example, children ask the inspector her name when she arrives, offer her stickers and make her some 'raspberry milk' in the role-play area.

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.
