Yesodey Hatorah Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2024. Open since 2001, with 203 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 Hackney
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hackney 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 have highly effective partnerships with parents, and strong key-person arrangements are in place. Children build attachments with their key persons and staff know the children in their care well. This helps staff to plan and deliver an ambitious curriculum based on children's individual needs and interests. Staff ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning. Children demonstrate that they feel happy and safe as they engage with activities, listen carefully and respond to instruction throughout the day.
Children bring handwritten notes from their parents praising their behaviour at home. Staff read these messages out at the start of the day so everyone can hear examples of children's kindness, generosity and helpfulness at home. Staff have the same high expectations of children's behaviour at nursery. They offer praise and encouragement throughout the day to reinforce these expectations. This helps children to develop positive attitudes to their learning and their interactions with their friends.
Leaders successfully combine teaching related to their faith and culture with the requirements of the early years foundation stage curriculum. For example, when learning about blessings for different foods, children also learn how vegetables grow, how bread is made and the origins of other produce. This helps children to make sense of their physical world and their community as they engage with the well-planned curriculum.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - develop staff practice to provide children with high-quality learning opportunities when they play outside n embed continuous practice that supports children's oral health to ensure that they are regularly brushing their teeth and parents understand the importance of oral hygiene.

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.
