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.

I have put two children through this nursery after seeing many other nurseries in the area this is the only one I have found suited my family. Staff listen to concerns and handle matters with absolute discretion. After my child was diagnosed with an allergy, staff were sure to provide food alternatives and were very thorough with paperwork and ensure to have correct medication before I leave. Staff always have time for you at drop off and collection to tell you about your child’s day. Most of the time my child doesn’t even say goodbye because she is so engrossed in the activities. Overall, I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else.
The staff are all very caring and good at communicating with parents. They keep detailed records of your child’s progress which they will share whenever you request...
The staff are all very caring and good at communicating with parents. They keep detailed records of your child’s progress which they will share whenever you request it. Activities are varied and fun. Meals go down very well!
Overall I’m very pleased with Head Start, I feel that my children are safe, happy and that they are learning loads, in terms of literacy/numeracy and also social and personal awareness.
So so pleased we decided on Head Start. The staff are truly brilliant, very engaging and can't do enough for you or the children. Will be sad to leave next year.

Head Start has been a fantastic nursery for our family. The staff are kind and approachable and obviously take the time to get to know all the children in their care. My eldest graduated in a gorgeous ceremony last summer which was a joy to be a part of and my youngest is a current student, 3 days per week. He loves going to nursery and I believe that the care they provide creates important learning opportunities for their little charges. I always recommend Head Start and will continue to do so.
Great place so happy with all so far. My son started attending nursery last year in July and I was so scared and felt terrible to leave him with strangers. All that fear is gone now, my son loves his teachers and the nursery. He is learning so much and so fast! Amazing people, great place for any...

This is a great nursery. We sent our daughter here in 2011 and had no hesitation in sending our son last year. The staff are friendly and the surroundings are clean with stimulating toys and experiences for little ones. They have a secure outdoor play area with bikes etc and sometimes the children go on an outing to the garden centre next door. It's open 7.30 - 6pm all year round and it's not too big like some nurseries. It has a homely feel. Staff retention is very good too, which says a lot.
