Funding & Fees

  • Up to £2,140 per month. This is our full time fee - please visit our website for details on different attendance patterns and funding options.

  • All of our kindergartens offer the government 15 hour funding for eligible children under three, and the government universal 15 hour funding for children over three which provides funding for a nursery education place for up for 15 hours per week to all 3-4 year olds.


    Children are eligible for the funding from the term after they turn 3. The child’s 3rd birthday needs to occur on or before March 31st, August 31st and December 31st to be eligible for the funding from the following term.


    We also offer a number of full day places, which will include the 30 funded hours for those families that meet the government eligibility criteria.


    We will apply to the borough council on behalf of parents once a child is eligible. The funding provided does not cover the total cost of placing a child at The Kindergartens, therefore we charge an additional hours and services package. The additional services charge is due to the cost of providing qualified staff of a high calibre; maintaining a smaller teacher to child ratio; the provision of peripatetic staff to deliver extra curricular activities including sport, music/drama and dance, in addition to Forest School, snacks and other consumables.


    Please call our admissions team to discuss the fees for your chosen setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since our son's first day at Crescent II, we have had nothing but positive things to say about the environment and staff at this incredible nursery. We had various special requirements when he first arrived (predominantly around diet and nap times) and nothing has ever been too much of an ask. The facilities
are excellent but the real difference is the engagement and attention from all of the wonderful carers. Whenever we visit for collection and drop off, it is clear they have genuine affection for all of the children and know each of their personalities, challenges, interests etc and, crucially, go the extra mile in group play and one-on-one time to make their days as enjoyable and rewarding as possible. The activities they put on vary each day and really exceed what we expected when we signed up (often creating a lot of mess for themselves to clean up in the process!). Massive credit to the team there - we couldn't be happier and would recommend to anyone in the area.

We absolutely love Crescent 2! The staff are all wonderful and know all the kids individually. The kids clearly adore them all. They run so many fabulous and educational activities for them, with every day being different and they have listened and taken on parent feedback. Our child has developed so
well over the last 12 months so thank you so much!

Crescent 2 has been an absolute second home for my 2-year-old. We moved her from another local nursery, as that nursery only went up to 2 years, and we couldn't be happier. Genuinely, the teachers in Crescent feel like extended family and like we're dropping off our daughter to their aunties. There
is so much love and care taken with the children - their 'outstanding' Ofsted review is definitely deserved. We feel so lucky to have chosen this nursery.

The teachers at Crescent II Kindergarten are so warm and lovely. I feel confident and happy leaving both my children with them, even when tearful and upset! The teachers all know how to calm and distract each individual child. Very quickly I saw a significant benefit to attending the setting, in terms
of my children’s speech, numeracy, colours, but also confidence and socialising skills. I would recommend the setting to anyone that will listen to me! Having just had my third child, there is nowhere else I would consider sending her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had two children at Crescent II and they absolutely loved being there. Even now, when they have moved on to a school they both genuinely enjoy, they still talk about Crescent II and the teachers there with a great deal of affection. The teachers are warm, engaging and empathetic but still have a
sense of order with the children and the environment is a perfect and nurturing environment for little ones. Our two grew during their time there and it gave them an excellent base on which to start their education we would enthusiastically recommend Crescent II.

I cannot praise this nursery enough. I've had two children attend. One has gone to primary school and the other is still there. We all absolutely love it for so many reasons. The manager and staff are incredible. Kind, attentive, inclusive, motivating, encouraging and supportive. The facilities are
perfect for young ones and there is always something exciting going on for them to get fully involved in. I feel so lucky to have found Crescent II Kindergarten and will always thank the lovely ladies for helping to mould my littles before they head off to primary, ultimately more confident and happy because of the environment they have experienced at Crescent II. I would confidently recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone.

My son has been in Crescent II for almost two years.
All the teachers are absolutely amazing! He has been so lucky to have an outstanding education in the Kindergartens. They enjoy the time in nursery so much and dedicate a long time everyday to learn phonics, writing and maths.
Now that he is starting
school, we are going to miss Crescent II very much!

An absolute credit to the amazing team at Crescent II Kindergarten, who has been phenomenal with our son and has also gone above and beyond to make all parents feel happy and welcome. There is a genuine happiness and warmth about the place and our boy always charges straight in with barely a look back.
He is developing into a really thoughtful and kind little boy, in large part due to the environment he is learning in. We are incredibly grateful and will be sending number two shortly!

Our son is very happy at Crescent II Kindergarten. He is supported by kind and engaging teachers when he feels secure and confident to speak to and engage with and often talks about them at home. The wonderful headteacher and teachers are now part of our family life. They do everything to help the children
develop in a safe and caring environment. Lots of learning in a nurturing environment. We love being able to go into kindergarten to see what the kids have been doing and the kids like that we are part of their kindergarten experience.

I’ve had two children attend Crescent II Kindergarten, and my 3rd will start later in the year - this is a testament to its wonderful teachers and the warm and exciting environment they have created for the children to learn. It has a large learning space, as well as a fabulous garden for the children
to play in. The staff team are dedicated to providing the children with the most exciting experience of early years programming to get them geared up for the start of their reception year. My son leaves Crescent II Kindergarten as a confident, articulate and very happy little boy. I can’t wait for my youngest to join the Crescent II Kindergarten family this September. Thank you, Crescent II Kindergarten.
Reply from Ben Murray, Marketing Director at Crescent II Kindergarten SW17

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.407)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.407) out of 10 for Crescent II Kindergarten SW17 is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.857 for Crescent II Kindergarten SW17 is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.857
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Crescent II Kindergarten SW17 is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 number of registered child places is 10. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.3
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
