Cybertots On The Green

Four gardens, a sensory garden among them, give Cybertots On The Green its strongest physical character. Set within Drayton Green Park and forming part of Jubilee Children’s Centre, this West Ealing nursery makes outdoor exploration part of the day rather than a separate destination. Children can also grow food in a vegetable garden. There is plenty here for families who value learning outdoors.

Ofsted rated the nursery Good at its 4 March 2025 inspection. It accepts children from 3 months to 5 years, with full-day attendance and funded term-time provision among its arrangements. The important distinction for parents is between the childcare pattern and the package of extras: meals, consumables and activities can affect what families pay alongside funded hours.

Rooms and Ages

Baby Room, Toddler Room and Preschool Room each have password-protected camera pages. That gives families a room-based connection with nursery life alongside conversations with staff.

The gardens carry more detail than the indoor room descriptions. Children can move between indoor play and the outdoor area through a free-flow arrangement, choosing to explore outside. The sensory garden adds another outdoor setting, while the vegetable garden gives growing a practical purpose: children plant food themselves. These are useful features for parents seeking regular outdoor experiences rather than occasional trips out.

Learning and Activities

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides the framework for children’s learning, development and care, including learning through play and everyday interactions. Art and Dance are additional classes here. They bring creative activities alongside that framework rather than replacing it.

In March 2025, staff used everyday tasks to build early skills. Preschool children represented numbers with their fingers and worked out the bowls needed when setting a table. Younger children joined in tidying before washing their hands for a snack; toddlers practised managing their coats, and older children prepared fruit and helped clear away after eating. The point is practical independence: children have opportunities to do things for themselves throughout the day.

Songs with actions and conversations about books supported language in March 2025. Group teaching was the weaker element, however: activities did not consistently match each child’s learning needs. That matters for families whose child needs a different level of challenge or more individual help to participate.

Outdoor play at that time included a slide and climbing frames. Younger children received encouragement as they attempted the slide, while older children practised balancing with staff close by. Physical exploration sat alongside the quieter number and language activities.

Relationships and Communication

In March 2025, a key person helped children build close relationships with an adult who knew them. Staff and parents also worked together on toilet training, with workshops and books supporting a consistent approach between home and nursery. For parents, the useful detail is the connection between conversations and practical help: support extended to routines families were managing at home.

Settling visits form part of the registration arrangements, with the registration charge covering that series of visits. This gives joining families a planned introduction to the setting rather than making the first contracted day the whole introduction.

Inclusion and Wellbeing

At its March 2025 inspection, Ofsted found safeguarding effective and recognised how observations and assessments helped staff identify SEND, arrange support around individual needs and enable children to make good progress.

During March 2025, staff encouraged children to talk about emotions and consider how their friends felt. Praise and positive language also helped children persist with difficult activities. Emotional development was therefore addressed through daily exchanges as well as planned learning.

Meals in the nursery’s meal package are freshly cooked by in-house chefs, with dietary needs accommodated and alternatives to cow’s milk offered. Its packed-food policy excludes nuts and nut products, requires ingredient information and specifies ready-to-eat food because food brought from home cannot be heated or refrigerated.

Sessions and Attendance

The address is 2a Drayton Green, West Ealing, London W13 0JF. Opening hours are 7.30am to 6pm on weekdays, and the nursery operates for 50 weeks each year. Full-day bookings are offered, alongside part-time attendance and funded term-time arrangements.

Applications use a registration form and parental agreement. The waiting-list process matches requests to attendance patterns; full-time and larger full-day bookings take precedence over shorter patterns, and siblings of existing children have priority over new applicants. Submitting an application does not secure a place.

A training closure falls on 19 October 2026. The Christmas closure runs from 24 December 2026 to 1 January 2027, with reopening on 4 January 2027. These dates matter for families arranging care around working days.

The branch can be contacted on 020 8997 3990 or at onthegreen@cybertots.co.uk. Tour enquiries use its booking form.

Getting There

West Ealing and Drayton Green train stations are both within walking distance. The park setting therefore combines outdoor space with access by rail.

Funding and Paid Extras

The funded offer includes 15 hours for eligible two-year-olds receiving government support, the 15-hour entitlement for three- and four-year-olds, and 30 hours for eligible working families with children from 9 months to 4 years. The 30-hour offer is delivered across 50 weeks, so the weekly allocation is lower than the term-time entitlement; 15-hour provision also has a 38-week option.

Enhanced All-In Package combines extra hours with food, activities and consumables in one monthly package. Build Your Own Package lets families select their attendance and add those elements separately. Meals and consumables are therefore included within the inclusive package or charged separately when selected individually, including alongside funded hours; families may opt out of additional charges. Consumables include items such as cotton wool, tissues and nappy sacks. Opting out can affect participation in certain additional activities and use of additional resources, while the core EYFS education remains free on funded hours.

Private childcare is also offered. Current prices come in the nursery’s written quotation, and the funding and charges information sets out the package structure. Monthly billing spreads fees across the year, and bank holidays and training days remain chargeable.

For funded-only attendance without additional services, the registration charge is waived. A refundable deposit may still be required, with repayment governed by local authority guidance or made within two weeks of leaving, provided no fees remain outstanding.

• Group learning. In March 2025, group activities did not consistently accommodate children’s differing needs and abilities. During a tour, ask how staff adapt book discussions and other shared activities for your child.
• Attendance priorities. Full-time and larger full-day bookings take precedence over shorter patterns. Families seeking fewer days should discuss how their preferred pattern fits the allocation rules before completing registration.
• Package choices and food. Inclusive and separately selected extras produce different charge structures, while opting out can affect additional activities. Ask for a written quotation showing your chosen elements; allergy-affected families should also confirm current food handling and dietary arrangements.
• Holiday cover. The October training day and Christmas closure interrupt the usual weekday timetable. Families needing care on those dates will need another arrangement.

Cybertots On The Green suits families seeking full-day attendance or a funded term-time pattern who value outdoor choice, growing food and creative classes. The park setting and gardens give it a clear character, while the March 2025 observations show learning threaded through useful everyday tasks. The balance is practical: group activities need careful adaptation, and attendance priorities and package choices deserve attention before committing. Its appeal rests on what children can do here, with the gardens the clearest starting point.
