About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- 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.

I can't say enough about Leys Children Centre Nursery, what a fantastic place to care for and educate my little boy. My son is always doing different activities that keep him interested and help him learn new things, he always comes home smiling and telling me about his exciting day. Every single member of the team is easy to talk to and work really hard, they always tell me about my son's day and are always there to give him a big cuddle goodbye, the connection he has with them is very clear and puts me at ease. My son has come on leaps and bounds and I couldn't be happier with the nursery and the care they provide for my boy. Thank you to everyone at the nursery.

I had an experience which helped me to feel peace when a member of staff was speaking with me and suddenly one child asked something, the staff stopped talking with me and with much interest answered the child’s needs.
I would recommend the nursery to anyone who needs an outstanding care for their children.

My eldest is 4 years old and she has been attending the nursery since she was 18 months old. Her progression and development has exceeded my expectations as a mother. The staff are amazing and goes above and beyond to ensure my child and all other children are supported and well cared for. So much so, I cannot wait for my second child (age 13 months) will follow suit. I have never looked back on my decision and very pleased with the nursery and its facilities. Will definitely recommend to friends, family and new parents.

Hello, my name is Caroline and I have been at Leys Nursery & Pre-School since 2009, when myself and the team opened the nursery from new. Leys has some truly unique features, from the moment you step inside. The large, spacious rooms with their own defined areas allow children the freedom to explore their own learning at a level suited to them.
