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.

My daughter has been at Brightsparks Old Coulsdon for over a year now and they have been amazing. When she first started she was very clingy and would cry every time I left but the staff were so good with her and within a few drop offs she was running in without a care. All of the staff are so...
She is only leaving because she will be starting school, otherwise I would keep her there.
Would definitely recommend this nursery.
Amazing nursery, my daughter has attended since she was 20 months old. She is now three, staff are professional, approachable, loving and caring. My child loves attending she has progressed superbly. I feel that my child is sage, happy and well looked after. I am happy to recommend this nursery to...

Both my daughters attend Brightsparks Old Coulsdon, and could't be happier. My youngest is just over a year old, and has been there since she was nine months old. When I drop her off, she plays with her friends and is always happy to see the staff - a very good indicator that they are caring, and loved by the children.
My eldest is four, and has been there since she was six months old. She can write her name, recognises numbers and some words; she is creative, intelligent, confident, caring and outgoing. Her outstanding development is a credit to Brightsparks and the staff at Old Coulsdon. They structure learning around current events and the interests of the children, and it's a delight to see. We've just collected her Early Years folder, which we will have to pass on to her primary school teacher in September. The care and attention put into the folder is incredible - observations, conversations, artwork, photos of activities mentioned. It is such a thorough record of her development and it's wonderful to read through.
The phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" comes to mind; everyone at Brightsparks Old Coulsdon has had an impact on the way my eldest has grown into a confident and intelligent young girl. It's been a pleasure to have her at Brightsparks, and I look forward to seeing all the milestones my youngest will make as she continues her journey with Brightsparks.
Thank you to all at Brightsparks for providing excellent care for my two girls!
