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.

Ever since our son started attending the nursery, he's had a remarkable improvement in his confidence level, willingness to share and play with other kids and more expressive compared to his former nursery.
I would definitely be happy to recommend the school to any other parent.
Thanks again...

Thanks again to all the staff and management for giving us the support needed during the transition period.
Playhouse Montessori is an excellent nursery. The staff are so caring and attentive I feel 100% reassured when I drop my daughter in the morning.

My three-year-old daughter has been going to Playhouse Montessori Ltd for over 6 months. I am very pleased with her progress. She learns new and creative things on a daily basis. The teachers are very well trained. The management is very co-operative and understanding. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for an excellent nursery in the area. :)

My daughter started at Playhouse Montessori at the age of 18months. She settled very quickly and I believe that it was down to how friendly and encouraging they were as a team. At home, I was training my daughter to use the toilet and as soon as I expressed that to her nursery teachers, they quickly jumped on board and reinforced the training on her days in. Daily sheets allowed me to have an insight as to what her day was like. if I was unable to have an end of day catch up with the Playhouse team. In regards to my daughters' well-being, they were very quick to pick up on unusual behaviour. They had learnt my child's character and because of this, anytime she was under the weather they called me and informed me. My daughter is very fond of her friends and teachers and the nursery and talks about them even when we are at home. She is soon turning 4 and is requesting for all of her little lovely friends and teachers to attend her birthday.

My son started here when he was 14 months old and stayed until he was 3. The nursery were incredibly supportive with my initial part time and term time requirements and my son transitioned amazingly well into full-time nursery. He thoroughly enjoyed his 2 years here, especially with the bonds he made with staff and the opportunities and experiences he had here. The nursery was incredibly encouraging with all of his interests and organised activities to suit his favorite interests. We had concerns about his speech and language and staff went above and beyond to support and help us with this and his progress was outstanding. We have moved further away so my son will now join a local pre-school. However, he thoroughly enjoyed Playhouse Montessori Ltd. The staff, care and support for both himself and us as parents was fantastic!
We moved our 2 1/2 year-old to the Playhouse last October (2015) from another nursery which had kept our daughter in the baby room beyond the point which we felt was reasonable. When we moved our daughter she was delayed in her speech and was extremely 'mummy-centric' to the point to which she...
We moved our 2 1/2 year-old to the Playhouse last October (2015) from another nursery which had kept our daughter in the baby room beyond the point which we felt was reasonable. When we moved our daughter she was delayed in her speech and was extremely 'mummy-centric' to the point to which she would cling onto me rather than go to daddy and would push daddy away if I was in the vicinity. When she was at social events she was extremely shy and would cling to me rather than go and play with other children. Within about 1 month of her being at the Playhouse we saw a real positive change in her. She started talking much more with a considerably wider vocabulary and with much more confidence. You could see her trying out words and copying us much more. She also became much more confident and, while she continues to be a mummy's girl, she loves being with daddy and other people too. It has been wonderful to see the change in her and I feel that Playhouse with it's amazingly caring and wonderful staff, have had a massive influence on her. She is learning colours and numbers and is coming home with new bits of art and baking everyday. The owners who run the nursery have been wonderfully supportive and from the beginning did everything they could to help us with the potentially traumatic change of nurseries by being so flexible with the free settling in period. You can see that the focus is on the children and their well-being and progress and that is where the passion and enthusiasm lies which filters down to the fantastic nursery nurses.
We are so happy that we changed to Playhouse Montessori and I would recommend it to anyone.

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.
