Funding & Fees

  • Up to £6,595 per term. 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 universal 15 hour funding, 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.


    The funded hours are offered between 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. each day.


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

Review from E L (Mother of Child) published on 17 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has now been at the nursery for nearly two full school years. The setting is just wonderful - children play in a large, bright room with high ceilings and lots of natural light, surrounded by loving teachers who carefully set up fun activities on a daily basis. As soon as the weather allows,
the children play in the garden, which has frames for climbing, a mud kitchen, ride on toys and a corner where they grow plants. The older children also have the brilliant exposure of going to forest school and visit a nearby care home, where they chat to and do activities with the elderly residents. My daughter has developed beautifully through her time here, and I feel she is fully prepared for entering reception with the skills and knowledge she has gained at The Park. Overall there is a relaxed, caring, family-like atmosphere to the whole set up, which is also very enjoyable as a parent.

We have our youngest boy at The Park and last year had both boys there. It's a wonderful physical space with an amazing garden to provide further play-based learning. Most important of all are the incredible staff who are caring, nurturing and engaged. Both our boys developed strong relationships with
various teachers and are always delighted to see them. Highly recommend The Park.

Our daughter spent two wonderful years at The Park Kindergarten, and we couldn't be happier. The small size created a warm, family-like atmosphere where she felt safe and supported. The caring staff and engaging activities made her time there truly special. Highly recommend for a great start to learning!

My son has spent approximately two years there and it has become his second home, where he is cherished and loved. The head teacher and the whole team are truly amazing, very professional and supportive. English is my son's second language, but with the help of the team his language skills have progressed
tremendously, and he is now fully prepared for Reception. We will miss this place and its warm atmosphere and would certainly recommend it to other parents.

My daughter had a wonderful experience at The Park. The teachers are excellent. My daughter loved them all and on the weekends would play with two members of staff in particular. The school is bright and airy. The outside space is ample with a boat and mud kitchen for the kids to play with.

Every time I leave my son, I feel so confident he is in the best hands. The teachers at The Park truly take time to get to know who he is and what’s important to him. He has a wonderful time playing and also loves having some constructed learning; gently getting me excited for school in September this
year! I have an 18 month year old and I’m very excited for him to start soon! Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!

Hands down the best nursery in the neighbourhood: loving and caring environment, amazing team, very facilitating, close proximity to the park (not to mention the beautiful building itself). I keep getting updates on my boy’s progress and development daily, and really happy to see him thriving there.

We have been highly impressed and very satisfied with all aspects of the nursery. All the staff are great, there is a nice atmosphere always and they seem like they are all at the top of their game. Communication and attention to care and nurturing has been excellent. Also, when my son first started
he wasn’t used to playing and sharing toys with other kids his age and so he took a week or two to get used to this and they gave a lot of assurances that this was all normal and we shouldn’t be concerned. Now he plays really nicely and is thriving being there. Highly recommend The Park to anyone considering it.

We were very pleased since the beginning with the warm and receptive environment of the nursery. It fosters a caring and friendly approach for both children and parents. We felt the staff followed very closely the development of our child and were very helpful in letting us know the strong areas and
where development was needed. The staff are friendly, caring and stable. In addition to a warm familiar environment we were very satisfied with the various learning activities that the nursery programs for children (e.g. understanding the world, going to the library, etc.). Overall a great combination of a healthy environment with a good learning setting for children to prepare for their next educational step in school.

We have been more than happy attending The Park. Under the careful dedication of the staff who have always brought out the best in my children, they have had the best preparation and are now blossoming at school. Staff are committed to building a strong sense of familiarity, and they go the extra mile
to make themselves approachable. They have achieved a very happy environment, which is reflected in curious and well-adjusted children. Big congratulations and keep up the good work!

Our son attended Park for 12 months from 2.5 years old to 3.5 years old. We have no reservations in fully recommending the nursery. The manager is a wonderful head teacher and team lead, very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. She leads the school and its capable, friendly and fun-loving team
of teachers. This nursery will provide the family with an introduction to school life, routine and culture in and safe and family-friendly manner. There were loads of school trips and new ideas to keep our son entertained and engaged all day every day! We wish everyone at the school all the very best.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery for one and a half years since he was two and we couldn’t have hoped for a better and kinder place. The staff are all wonderful, especially the lead teacher, who cares for every child as if they were her own. She’s always happy and positive and tirelessly spends time creating
different activities for them, provides detailed feedback and generally creates a very warm and loving environment. My son has loved going to the nursery from day one and normally he can be quite clingy at home. All the staff have been super supportive through his potty training and have been wonderful with a huge number of fun and developmental activities. Like I’ve said to them before, my only regret is not having more kids to send there. We will miss this place very much but I hope it continues to flourish, as every kid deserves a loving nursery like this place. I have recommended The Park to lots of friends and acquaintances and we will leave with only very happy memories.

Great nursery, thanks to the lovely and dedicated staff! Communication is excellent and everything is done to ensure children are nurtured and challenged each at their own pace. We have absolutely loved having our eldest daughter at The Park Kindergarten for three years and delighted to have our youngest
now following in her footsteps.

The best signal for a parent to know about your son's experience in a nursery is his/her comfort and happiness. Our son has never complained about going to nursery and has always woken up with the willingness to spend time there and with a big smile. Although our son has been a little immature in his
speech compared to other kids his age, given we are an international family, he has always felt at ease and accepted. We have felt the care, dedication and experience of the staff in the nursery in the way they treated our son. We can tell he did not get annoyed and was stimulated all day long.

We were very happy with our experience at The Park nursery. The care, time and affection that the class teachers and assistants gave to our child were much appreciated. The lead teacher was always very responsive, and we felt they had our best interests and those of our child at heart. The teaching

The staff at The Park are truly wonderful. My son has developed so much since starting at The Park. He has been exposed to many different activities, and his vocabulary and manners have excellent. The Park Kindergarten provides a wonderful setting for children and helps to get them ready for school.

Both of my children have been to The Park, SW11. My son is now seven and my daughter is about to go to school. We love the nursery so much and all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for The Park Kindergarten SW11 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.932 for The Park Kindergarten SW11 is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 103 Ratings = 4.932
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Park Kindergarten SW11 is based on 9 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
