About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 47 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 47 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 24.3 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We have always been very pleased with the staff at the setting and enjoyed attending parents evening when you get to see photos and updates of what they have been up to.
My children speak very highly of the staff there and love the bond that they share with the girls, they look forward to going to nursery in the mornings and are always doing something fun when we collect them.
It’s such a pleasure to feel confident in the staff that look after your children and we are very happy with the service they provide. They have always made a huge effort in welcoming each child in their new rooms and settling them into making new friends.
Thank you for everything you do!

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter has been here almost 2 years now and the staff have supported her through all her learning and some hardships in our lives. They go above and beyond to help in anyway possible. They bring out the different personalities in each individual child and help the children thrive in their environment. They've helped me with any parenting questions or struggles I've had and I can't thank them enough for all they do.

From the day my daughter started she has been made to feel welcome. As parents we have been kept up to date with progress she has made and areas the nursery staff feel she needs additional support with. She looks forward to going each week and has made some friends which she speaks about often. The events they put on for the children always brings a smile to my daughter face. Food options are amazing and has encouraged her to try different things.

Lovely nursery, staff are friendly and caring and my triplet boys settled well and love attending. They have come on a lot with their development and the staff are excellent at supporting them to progress, particularly as they were born prematurely.
