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 son has attended this nursery since May 2016 and I couldn't have wished for a better nursery, I visited about 6 prior to this one and there is something very warm about this nursery, the staff are lovely and very informative about your child's day. Also, I love the fact that my son has a learning journal which I'm able to log into and see pictures of what he had been doing while I'm at work. Overall I would defiantly recommend.

My child has returned to Little Learners South Croydon using 3-year funding since spending almost a year in the teams care back in 2015 whilst I was working! I have to say I'm very impressed by the teams' supervision and care and the areas in which are available to my child! The outdoor space outweighs many other nurseries and along with a confident down to earth managing team and supervision team I was very confident and am still confident my child would have a fun, safe and nurturing environment!

They make a very big difference between the children whose parents pay for the nursery and the ones who have come in the nursery with free hours from the government. In her very first role play on Christmas time the video recording had been given only to the parents who pay for nursery hours and my daughter's one they " lost it " and they lost her spare set of clothes.

There is no difference between the service that we offer children who receive funding. In fact at Little Learners every child receives a nursery bag at a cost of £2.65 regardless of whether the child attends just for their government funding. Some other nurseries ask the parents who are receiving funding to bring in their own packed lunch as the nursery will not supply food. Our funded children receive breakfast, lunch or a snack and afternoon tea throughout their session.
Unfortunately some of the video recordings were unavailable to show parents due to poor quality so it was not a case of the funded children not receiving the video. For Safeguarding issues we felt that we could not allow parents to record the plays. The child's bag was on their peg but did not have any clothes in. The nursery has sets of spare clothes and children all have their own change of clothes so I cannot comment on where the clothes went.

Fantastic nursery - great staff, facilities and meals. My daughter loved going there and still talks about the staff and the friends she made. They do lots of activities, which makes learning fun for the children. They have days out and parties. Love the garden and the animals.

Myself and my son are always greeted with a huge smile and always feel completely comfortable within the nursery. All members of staff know both my name and that of my daughter and we are always greeted by name. Wonderful place to grow and develop. I will put my second child in that nursery next year! You cant find any better than this!!

Happy with my daughter attending the setting. She enjoys it and is happy when I collect her at the end of the day :-)
She is able to tell me and daddy all about her day at nursery, what activities she did and who she played with and what she learned etc.

There have been a lot of staff changes in the past few months which was initially unsettling, however this has settled now and all staff are very welcoming, friendly and professional.
In the past, I felt that the communication between staff and parents was very poor and we were left relying on our children to tell us what they had done through the day and what they'd eaten etc. However this has been addressed and is much more fluid. In saying this, there is still room for improvement; I recently sent an email regarding fees and had to chase at least three times and wait two weeks for a response.
I find the girls all lovely and if I had a problem I would happily go to any of them! The care that they provide for my child is second to none; he comes home happy and full of stories of his day, which is all I can ask!
In my opinion, after an initial unsettling period with management changes, the nursery has blossomed under the new leadership team!

I can't recommend this nursery enough. I love the little activities they run for parents to get involved with at the nursery. We feel totally informed about our daughters progress (she's been there for a about 4 months now) and feel part of the Little Learners extended family. We recently attended 'The big breakfast' event and got to have a fry up with our daughter. Such a lovely idea and we loved it. I wish more parents had taken it up! I have spoken to other parents with children in other Croydon nurseries and LL is definitely the best out of the lot, in my opinion. Possibly the best in South London (really it is!) We get access to our daughter's progression on the online learning journal, which is fantastic. We literally coo over her pictures and progress each time we log in. We don't know of any other nurseries that have this. A real achievement for LL!
LL has really been the best decision we've made for our daughter.
