Child care in Hillingdon
Day nursery places, wraparound school-age care and home-based childcare across Hillingdon, from a local team who know the area and the schools in it.
Earnest Care provides child care across Hillingdon, covering Uxbridge, Hayes, Ruislip, Northwood, West Drayton and surrounding areas (UB3, UB4, UB7, UB8, UB9, UB10, HA4, HA6). Services include day nursery places from nine months, breakfast and after-school clubs, holiday cover, childminding and DBS-checked nannies. All government-funded hours are accepted.
Childcare in Hillingdon: the local picture
Hayes and West Drayton have young, growing families and a large Heathrow-adjacent workforce on shift patterns, so demand here is often for hours that do not fit a standard nursery day. Ruislip, Ickenham and Northwood are quieter and more suburban, with steady demand for wraparound cover around the school day.
We work across the borough with Hillingdon Council and the local Family Information Service, and our team knows the practical realities here - which schools finish when, where parking is impossible, and how long the journey actually takes at half past four.
