How do I choose a nursery in London?
When choosing a nursery in London, it's important to consider what is most important to you and your family. Some factors to consider include location, hours of operation, age group served, curriculum, price, and size.
Location is an important factor for many parents. If you need to be near the nursery during the day for drop-offs and pickups, then you'll need to choose a nursery that is close to your home or workplace. If you're willing to travel a bit farther for better care options, then there are many nurseries in London that offer excellent programming.

How much does a London Nursery cost per day?
The daily cost of attending a nursery in London is influenced by several factors, creating a pricing range of £50 to £100 on average.
