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.

This is a family nursery, 4 nephews and niece's have been through this nursery and now my son. We as a family would choose no other montessori. They are kind, considerate and ace at their job! I was pregnant with my second son when my first joined and the care and consideration shown by one of the staff and the staff was unmatched , which is something so unexpected from an education institution! My son absolutely loves going nursery which in itself says a lot, because he is cared for with utmost attention. He has fun, learns and teaches us when he comes home haha. This nursery does a fantastic job and I hope they continue for many many many years to come! Thank you Playhouse you are the best in everyway.

My son recently attended playhouse and loved his time there! It's a family run nursery and all the staff are always warm and welcoming. You get regular updates on what the kids are doing via the Tapestry app and the staff update it diligently, even including on what they've had to eat that day. The kids also regularly visit play parks, libraries, fire stations and all of the community events are celebrated allowing you to get to know the other parents. I would definitely recommend!
I have put two of my kids in Playhouse Montessori who have had the best time there. All of the staff have been so caring and nurturing and the management have been so supportive and understanding when I have had to adjust days/ hours. I highly recommend Playhouse!

My daughter has been here for more than one year she loves this place, even when it's not her day she wants to go back to the nursery. I highly recommend this nursery. The manager and one staff member in particular have been very helpful and very supportive not just to me as a parent but to all my needs. I'm very happy for me and my child this is a second home.

He is always happy at drop off and pick up, which is extremely reassuring for first time parents!
Everyone is extremely accommodating when it comes to any requests we might have.
The rooms and gardens are so clean and tidy. They do so many fun activities to help their development, which was instantly noticeable in the amount he was progressing each day.
We want to thank everyone at the nursery for everything they have done and continue to do for him! It’s safe to say we will miss you all greatly when we leave.
Playhouse Montessori is a lovely place and the entire team were supportive and understanding during the settlement process. As a first-time mom, it was not easy to find the perfect place and team to let them care for my child but as soon as I met the team, they make me feel that my baby was in good...
Their kindness and happiness made my baby always happy when he saw them, and never cry when I dropped him off. Sadly we had to move to a closer nursery to our place but I would 100% recommend this great nursery. All the best!
My twins go to Playhouse Montessori nursery. They have settled down well. They are well taken care of. The nursery is clean and tidy. The staff and management are friendly and caring. I highly recommended this nursery.

Staff really care and love the kids but unfortunately, management doesn’t allow the staff to do their work without making nasty unprofessionally comments to them.
From my observation, management bullies their staff and you can see the differences in their character. When kids are handed over to you at the door, management watches the staff on the camera at the door to ensure they are not saying anything to me. I see the nervousness on their faces.
Don’t believe anything the management says to you. They are liars and terrible to their staff.
The staff here are so friendly and warm. My son has only been around myself the whole of lockdown so I knew settling him in would be a challenge. However, the nursery has made him feel so at home and he is really enjoying it, every day he tells us how good his day has been and that makes me happy.

I have 2 children at Playhouse Montessori, both of whom have attended since before the age of 1. My eldest enjoys being in the nursery environment and has a strong attachment to his keyworker who he adores. He has developed an interest in letters and numbers at nursery and seems well-prepared to start primary school. My youngest is happy and confident with nursery peers and staff. Staff are very caring and adapt to the children's needs. Where there are challenges (such as those relating to Covid) or other incidents, management appears to handle these appropriately.
Both my kids go to Playhouse Montessori, first kid started in 2017, the second kid started in 2020. Both of my kids have excelled so much with the care and attention given to them by their teachers. One of the best things is that the teachers get to know us as the parents on a personal note to...
Both my kids go to Playhouse Montessori, first kid started in 2017, the second kid started in 2020. Both of my kids have excelled so much with the care and attention given to them by their teachers. One of the best things is that the teachers get to know us as the parents on a personal note to understand the children which I find is much better and in turn, it brings out the fun in learning with the kids. They always take their time to get to know the kids, my kids love going to nursery. Management has been very helpful and very supportive, especially in these covid times. I am happy to know that my kids are in safe hands.

I trusted my child at this nursery after good reviews, but after only three weeks there was a serious safeguarding breach that led me to remove my child. My child is 19 months old and was left without adequate supervision. He was able to enter the staff kitchen (which was left open), make his way through the kitchen to the open back door at the far end and exit to the front of the property. He then walked down the path, opened the unlocked gate (which according to their risk assessment should be locked at all times) and walked straight out onto the street. Cars whizzed past as he made his way down the pavement. No members of staff noticed he was gone until another parent that happened to be collecting their child intercepted him and raised the alarm. When relaying the incident to me, the manager lied and said he didn’t get past the gate and that it was locked. It’s only when I requested to see the cctv did they admit the horrifying truth of the incident.

Our Daughter has flourished at his nursery, she adores the staff and children and she has come so far with her speech, knowledge, writing relationships and learning ethic.
We often look at each other when she tells us information she has learnt and we are often speechless because it just seems so advanced.
We adore them.
The staff at Playhouse Montessori have looked after both my children over the last 4 years and I personally could not have left them in better hands. The kids have developed exceptionally well both socially and academically and the kids have always gone to and from school extremely happy and...

Playhouse Montessori is an excellent nursery, family-run with the most caring and friendly staff. We have now had both of our boys go to Playhouse Montessori and they have both absolutely loved every day. I can't speak more highly of the team. They have a great structure and routine and right from an early age encourage, gently, learning of keys skills. Both my sons have become bright and full of confidence. The rooms are big, bright and full of activities, also have two fantastic gardens and they always get the children outside for some fresh air. The chef at the nursery is amazing, both my sons love the food. Fantastic variety of different ethnic dishes, vegetable and fruit. My eldest was very lucky to have been picked to show on TV My Pet and Me where they came to film at Playhouse Montessori and they had a variety of animals come to the nursery including a horse. The manager of the nursery is brilliant, so loving and caring. I would highly recommend this nursery.
My son started Playhouse when he was 10-weeks-old he is now turning 5 and he loves going to nursery every day, the staff have been amazing with him. I am very thankful for all the help and support the staff have given me and my son.

My daughter is thriving at Playhouse. She started when she was 10 months old and is now 2. She loves going to nursery every morning and when I pick her up at the end of each day she is still beaming! The staff are incredibly hands-on and know exactly how to push her development on, both on a short term and long term basis. The management is extremely friendly and approachable and have the children’s interests very much at the heart of their ethos. I trust them unconditionally and can see how cared for she is there. It truly feels like a family unit. Playhouse Montessori is a very special place.

My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since attending this Playhouse Montessori in April, she has become more engaging, creative and bubbly. Her social interactions with other children have developed really well. She loves every minute while she is there. This is a testament to the professionalism of the teaching and managing staff's abilities. Thank you all for your hard work.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All staff members are absolutely amazing; so calm, kind, patient, nurturing and so attentive to my 2-year-old daughter's everyday needs. My daughter has started going to this nursery 2 months ago, but she already loves it. She has improved her speech and her ability to interact with over children when before that, she was crying and throwing a tantrum every time someone was trying to talk to her or me (other than very close family). So to sum it up, the carers at this nursery have done wonders for my daughter and I will always be assured that she is in good hands.
My child has been at Playhouse for about 5 months now and he is having an amazing time. From the daycare, I am impressed with his development, especially his ability to communicate and interact with other children.

My child has been at Playhouse for about 5 months now and he is having an amazing time. From the daycare, I am impressed with his development, especially his ability to communicate and interact with other children. He is always so happy because he has the opportunity to run and play in the gardens and large play areas outside as well.

I have been a proud member of the Playhouse Montessori team for over 20 years and currently work as the Deputy Manager. During this time, I have had the privilege of supporting many children and families throughout their early years and watching them grow in confidence, independence and ability.
I am a qualified Early Years Professional (EYP) and Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), with extensive experience in early years education, safeguarding, child development and supporting the individual needs of children.
I am passionate about creating a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment where every child feels happy, safe and valued. I strongly believe that children thrive when nursery feels like a home away from home, and building positive, trusting relationships with both children and their families is at the heart of my approach.
As Deputy Manager, I work closely with our staff team to maintain high standards of care and education throughout the nursery, while supporting practitioners in delivering engaging learning experiences that enable every child to reach their full potential.
After more than 20 years at Playhouse, I remain just as passionate about early years education and take great pride in being part of the Playhouse family.
