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 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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 had such a lovely experience with this nursery. Last year, we unexpectedly had to change nurseries, and Simbi made the transition so easy and smooth for us. From the very beginning, she made us feel welcome and supported, which meant a lot during that time.
My daughter has enjoying her time here, and we have noticed such a positive change in her confidence and behaviour. A big thank you to Diana, BG, Adowa, and the rest of the team for looking after Clara so well. We will miss you all and would highly recommend this nursery to any family!

My son has absolutely loved his time at this nursery, he has made so many friends, grown in confidence and is always happy at drop off and pick up! He loves Wednesday's cake making and playing in the garden, and is always singing all the nursery songs he has learnt at home! This nursery has a lovely, homely family feel, and all the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming! I look forward to sending my new baby girl here next year.

It's a great nursery with a family-friendly atmosphere. The management is attentive and always willing to make adjustments to accommodate families. Each staff member provides individual attention to the children. Communication is excellent, whether by email or phone. The food provided for the children is of good quality, and there's plenty of stimulation and engaging activities. The children also have ample outdoor playtime. The staff offers valuable advice and support. I highly recommend it.
