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.

Playhouse Montessori is definitely a home away from home. The staff are so warm and nurturing. I decided to move our son's nursery closer to home just under 2 years ago due to starting a new job. It was one of the hardest things a parent could probably do, my anxiety was out of the roof. New people...
My son had the opportunity to continue during the lockdown which really has helped him with the transition from pre-school to reception.
He has gown into a confident and intelligent boy with an amazing personality and I want to thank Playhouse staff for helping nurture our son.
The management team are like family and are very flexible and easy to talk to. We will truly miss them

We choose the Playhouse due to their care, nurturing ethos and environment. My son is a confident and happy young boy who is fully prepared to make the transition to primary school. During his time there, each key worked has gone above and beyond to look after my child, he loves going each day. Drop-offs and pick-ups are always friendly and easy due to the staff meeting and greeting him at the door. I have been impressed with their confident communication and regular updates on his progress, he often surprises me with his physical development and verbal communication. He simply enjoys the care, and has flourished under the guidance of the staff, and made some great friendships with other children. The management has invested in the outside and inside environment to make it stimulating and bright. Care is flexible, and I would highly recommend this nursery, as staff provide excellent learning activities, great food options, and it is a wonderful setting. Thank you to the whole team!
My two kids loved the nursery and as a mother, Playhouse Montessori is the only nursery that made me feel like my kids were safe and happy. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Administration makes communication easy as well. It feels like a family.

My daughter has been at Playhouse Montessori for two years now and she absolutely loves it. To relive her experience, I have gone to the school to observe the activities and it was awesome to see how the children are taught to be independent as toddlers, the teachers stimulate the children's reasoning and questioning at such an early age. My daughters' progress has been awesome, she has become quite independent and wants to do everything for herself, she also mimics the teacher pretending to read to me and it is amazing. I would highly recommend the school to everyone as the staff are amazing and it is a friendly and family-centred positive learning environment for children.
A very pleasant nursery that my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed for the last few years. There have been times of challenges due to staff leaving or shortages but the managers persevere and try to not let it show or affect the children. Any issues are addressed straight away, which is helpful....
A very pleasant nursery that my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed for the last few years. There have been times of challenges due to staff leaving or shortages but the managers persevere and try to not let it show or affect the children. Any issues are addressed straight away, which is helpful. Children are also given the opportunity to do ballet and yoga which are great and my daughter also really enjoys.
Playhouse Montessori is a wonderful nursery to start your little ones into the pre-school nursery. The staff are flexible and friendly and learning is very good quality.

We are extremely happy with our child’s development. We started his nursery last year when he was one year old. My son loves the teachers very much and the teachers are very approachable for parents. “You guys are amazing”.

Very experienced teachers, who are caring and professional and to whom the children respond well to. Our daughter regularly comes home singing rhymes and reflecting on daily events. A positive environment for children to thrive in. Thank you!

The emotional support from the staff for new patents was lovely, the settling in photos and emails were a nice touch too, so I didn’t feel worried and that meant I could be confident going back to work.
My child is thriving at Playhouse, stimulated by a full program of activities, attention and love from the staff team. My child is confident and enjoys playing because of the staff and on the occasion when the child has been unwell the staff have been fast acting, calm and professional.
I can not recommend this nursery more.
We are very happy.

I was a very worried parent as my son had a lot of separation anxiety due to major changes at home. I took him to Playhouse Montessori and even asked for an extended settling in period. The manager was kind enough to accept my request. For one week I took my son in to be settled and as I thought he would he cried. I thought he was never going to settle.
When I dropped him for his first full day I was very worried. But when I went to pick him up even though he had cried intermittently he did eat and sleep well. As the days went on he improved each day. One week later to my surprise he was fine when I dropped him. This is all thanks to the staff who gave my son a lot of extra care and attention.
I would highly recommend this Montessori for young babies as the staff are very well trained. My son started at 1 there and is very happy there. The food is of a very high standard also. The kids are very well behaved. It's like a home from home.
Nice and tidy nursery with friendly and understanding staff. I kindly recommend it to everyone looking for childcare.

Since starting at Playhouse we have noticed a change in my daughter's personality, temperament and behaviour. Her development is fantastic, speech is clearer and more complex, she plays better with other children and even by herself. Singing her full alphabet, and in general learning quickly....
I find communication about what she has been doing during the day and how she has been is really good. Any questions are answered promptly. I've been really pleased with Playhouse and very happy that my daughter is happy, content and settled there.
The staff and management are very patient and helpful, they genuinely care about the needs of you and your child.

My son started when he was only 2 years old and now just turned three and has learnt a lot of things including speaking, he has made lots of friends!
I am very happy with the nursery, thank you.

He’s confident, articulate, bright and cheery and I can honestly say that his time at Playhouse has shaped much of that.
As parents, choosing a nursery that you hope will nurture and develop your child is challenging, but Playhouse was definitely the right decision for us. We were always made to feel welcome and listened to and that our son was in safe hands. Definite 5 stars!!!

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.
