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.

He enjoys going each morning with no fuss and we know he has an enjoyable time and is very well cared for whilst in the care of all the staff, who have been excellent in encouraging all areas of his development.
The nursery is well run and has a strong partnership with parents, the manager is always there if you have a concern.

Thank you for your review. Partnership with parents is something we all as a nursery feel very strongly about. We all strive to ensure both parents and children feel welcome, secure and happy at all times.
Little Crystals Day Nursery has very professional staff that deal with any queries I have and are always reassuring and trusting. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else and I am so grateful for the staff that work there providing individual attention and care to each child.

An amazing and lovely nursery. Couldn't recommend enough. All the staff know all the children's names and a warm and clean setting. My little one started over a month ago and has really settled in well. Staff listen to all your feedback and take an interest in outside activities

My nephew attended this nursery from 6 months old until he left for Primary School. Choosing a nursery was a very daunting decision for his mother and the whole family were delighted to finally find such a warm loving and welcoming nursery. The staff were all extremely passionate about their role in my nephew's life and attended to all of his needs with genuine care. The management team were fantastic and very approachable if we had any concerns. My nephew made special friendships and bonds with staff and other children, and grew in confidence. We were continuously updated with his progress and with any events which the nursery were holding. The menus were great and incorporated all cultures. I would recommend this nursery to anyone! It definitely played a huge role in our lives, I can not thank them enough.
Building bonds and forming friends develop children's confidence which is important to us that children have this great start in their journey through education.
My son attended this nursery and enjoyed his days at the nursery right from the beginning to the very end. All staff members know each child and established and maintained a safe, friendly, welcoming and loving environment for my son. They also made him feel at home and most importantly allowed him...
All staff members are very friendly and professional and I couldn’t thank them enough for what they have done for my son.
Thank you for review all children should feel safe and happy whilst in the nursery, we wish him well, his journey with us was a fantastic start to the big wide world
Lovely friendly nursery where all the staff takes time to get to know your little one and the family. The nursery is well run with excellent communication using the Eylog app, there are daily observations with photos of your little one engaging in activities.

Choosing the right nursery for your child is not an easy job as there are so many factors to consider. We could not be happier with our experience so far and I'm very greatful to the wonderful staff for being so caring and supportive. My daughter took quite some time to settle in when she started...
Cleaning standards are high and they provide nutritious meals which for us is important. Outside space is not big but they go on outings to the nearby parks. My little one will start next January and having that peace of mind that he will be well looked after and cared for is priceless.
Listening to your child's day is so important to all parents and we give 100% in everything we do to make their days fun and exciting.
I couldn’t recommend Little Crystals enough! They provide an excellent provision and have allowed my daughter to blossom whilst in their care.

I couldn’t recommend Little Crystals enough! They provide an excellent provision and have allowed my daughter to blossom whilst in their care. Their approach is extremely personalised, meaning every child receives the best care to meet their milestones. The atmosphere at Little Crystals is vibrant, friendly and filled with love. Their approach to the EYFS framework is impeccable and the staff ensure parents are aware of all progress that has been made, whilst also working with parents towards the next steps in development.
We are very happy sending our son to Little Crystals Day Nursery, where he has thrived.

We are very happy sending our son to Little Crystals Day Nursery, where he has thrived. The staff are excellent and it is so lovely to see the relationship that he has with them and that he has formed a bond with the other children at the nursery. We enjoy seeing what he is up to throughout the day on our app and that he takes part in various activities such as painting, reading and dancing. His speech and language skills have also improved during his time at nursery. Thanks so much to everyone at Little Crystals.
Thank you for your review. Providing exciting and strong activities supports all the children's development. Our fun singing and dancing activities are a great way to promote and extend language and communication skills.
I viewed many nurseries when searching for a place for my son but as soon as I walked into Little Crystals and talked to the staff I knew it was the right fit for our family.

I viewed many nurseries when searching for a place for my son but as soon as I walked into Little Crystals and talked to the staff I knew it was the right fit for our family. My son took a while to settle after being at home for two years but the staff were so patient and caring that he now runs in excitedly without looking back!! The staff genuinely care for your child’s development and take the time to understand your child’s individual needs. I feel confident that my son will be ready for school when it’s time to sadly leave Little Crystals.
Thank you for your review. Settling in can be the hardest part of nursery. Knowing each child and their interest in providing fun and exciting activities supports the child and makes the transition into nursery a welcoming beginning to their journey.
My son started Little Crystals just as lockdown was lifted. He has been there for nearly 2 months and has settled in well. The staff are very attentive, caring and welcome parents feedback. They take interest in your child’s activities outside of the nursery too. As soon as you visit the nursery...
I’m extremely happy with Little Crystals and would encourage any parent/guardian to give them a visit.
Thank you for your review. Starting a new nursery can be very hard. Settling in is one of our main priorities and knowing the children as individuals their interests and needs are important to us.

We started sending our daughter to this nursery when she was ten months old. We were originally sending our daughter to two nurseries as we could not get the days at one. The other one was rated outstanding and had lots of outdoor space but we felt they just didn’t know our daughter as well as they do at Little Crystals. For us, Little Crystals has been outstanding. The small size of baby room and the nursery overall means that the staff really do take the time to find out about each child and what works for each child in terms of encouragement and care. Communication is very regular and open. There is also a reassuringly low turnover of the staff which I feel reflects the tone set by the lovely manager and deputy manager. So pleased space opened up to allow us to send our daughter there for all days needed now.
Thank you for your review. We are so pleased we are able to see your daughter grow and develop.
It's been an absolute pleasure having my son attend the nursery, not only are the staff wonderful, helpful and caring, but they have made my son enjoy his time there so much. It has helped him grow, learn so many things and make lots of new friends. I would recommend anyone in the local area to...

It has helped him grow, learn so many things and make lots of new friends. I would recommend anyone in the local area to give the nursery a go as my experience with them has been brilliant. A huge thank you to all the staff at the nursery!!
Thank you for your review, your children's development is important to us all.

He thrives having a variety of activities to do (that I would never think of at home) and we don’t miss out with written reports, photos and links to his developmental progression.
The staff have been great at helping with developing routines with napping when he was little to potty training and their experience has proved invaluable.
I wholly recommend Little Crystals and with our second baby on the way we have got it on the waiting list already!!
Thank you for your review. Looking for a nursery is very hard for all parents, we provide a home from home feel and support all our families on your journey with us.
My daughter has attended Little Crystals for two years. She has had an incredible experience. Little Crystals provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the carers are attentive and take the time to explore each child's unique personality.

Both my boys attended Little Crystals with one still attending. I have since day one found this nursery to be a place where I've been completely happy to leave them. They've both enjoyed attending too. The staff are genuinely affectionate towards the children and it feels like they have a personal investment in them rather than this just being a job. They have been helpful with usual parenting issues, helped get through potty training and been supportive with my son's eye problems. They give good feedback on your child's progress and it feels like there is a really good rapport with parents. The nursery feels well managed and organised and clean and they are well fed. They've just been taken over by a small nursery company which staff are positive about and is bringing investment. There is a low staff turnover which indicates a good staff team. The building is small but I think there is enough space and it actually adds to the personal feel of the place. Definitely recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review we are so grateful for your kind words, we are one big team and are very passionate about childcare. Children's individual needs are always a priority, we enjoy supporting your children grow and develop becoming caring and confident children.
