Because we are Ofsted registered, families can use their government-funded childcare support towards activities at our centre.
Registration is not a badge we award ourselves. Ofsted sets requirements for safeguarding, staff suitability, premises and record-keeping, and checks that we meet them. Two things follow from it.
Safer-recruitment checks on every member of staff, written safeguarding and child-protection policies, first-aid cover, and premises and record-keeping that meet statutory requirements.
Registration is what makes a provider eligible, so families can use Tax-Free Childcare and the Universal Credit childcare element towards our fees.
Ofsted publishes every registered provider. Look us up on the Ofsted register before you enrol.
We are registered with Ofsted. Ask us for our registration details and we will give them to you, so you can look us up before you enrol.

The government adds £2 for every £8 you pay
Our sign-up with HMRC is in progress. Ask us before you pay from your childcare account.
You pay into an online childcare account and the government tops it up by 25%. You then pay us from that account.
Claim back up to 85% of what you pay us
If you receive Universal Credit and are working, you can claim back most of your childcare costs. You pay us first and report the cost in your journal; the money comes back in your next payment.
The requirements that come with registration are the same ones we would want as parents.
One centre in Alperton, with everything happening under one roof. You are welcome to visit and look around before you enrol.
No. We are an activity-based education centre registered on the Ofsted Childcare Register. Registration covers safeguarding, staff suitability and the safety of the premises. It is not a school inspection judgement and we do not claim a grade.
These are government schemes, not our discounts. Our fees are the same for everyone; the schemes change what the same fee costs your household.
For Tax-Free Childcare you need our registration details to add us as a provider in your childcare account. For Universal Credit you need receipts showing what you paid and when. We issue both — just ask.
HMRC for Tax-Free Childcare, and the DWP for Universal Credit. We cannot approve or refuse a claim, and we would rather point you at the GOV.UK checker than guess on your behalf.
Yes, and we encourage it. Book a free trial lesson and you can see the centre, meet the tutor and ask about our safeguarding policies while you are here.
Tell us your child’s age and we will tell you straight which support you can use — including when the answer is none.
