Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 19:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2024. Open since 2018, with 85 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 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
Leaders and staff provide a warm and welcoming environment for all children. They greet children with excitement, which helps them to arrive happily and follow the routines well. For example, children swiftly put their coats and bags away and change into their indoor shoes. Staff are readily available to assist younger children to change their shoes. This helps children to feel safe, secure and settle quickly into their day. Staff create a respectful and nurturing environment. They gently remind children of the rules and discuss the expectations for their behaviour.
Overall, children's behaviour is good.
Leaders work in partnership with external professionals and support staff to plan an ambitious curriculum. They take account of children's interests and allow them opportunities to practise their developing skills and knowledge. This helps all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to improve their questioning techniques to extend children's learning and language development further n use the strategies in place more consistently to support younger children to develop their turn-taking and sharing skills to avoid disruptions to their learning.

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.
