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 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 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 been attending the Ladybird room for a year now and he loves it there, the activities they lay out are amazing and my son gains a lot of learning through his play. The handover at the end of the day is brilliant and always informative. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My niece attends the nursery and it's just amazing. The activities set up in the morning are very detailed and she loves it. For a 2-year-old she is very advanced and I believe this is because of the education and care of all the amazing staff.

My family has had an amazing experience with Green Park Day Nursery. Whilst being at the nursery; our daughter has grown from strength to strength and has really flourished thanks to the amazing and genuine care and attention shown by all teachers she has come into contact with.

My son is in the preschool room and is getting excellent support. He has special educational needs and the team rose to the occasion beyond our best expectations. He is showing real progress thanks to the constant work and support from his key person and SENCO.

My son has been looked after by three lovely people. I was extremely happy that he had the right care by his key workers they were lovely and friendly. He is learning a lot of words and a happy baby in nursery. Thanks for all the ongoing activities and support to all.

She has developed an amazing relationship with her key worker. She is always happy when I pick her up, has made friends with lots of children and generally fitted in well all-round.
The staff are all very friendly and make an effort to say hello and goodbye as you enter the building. I also get feedback daily in regards to her day which is always nice to hear. I would highly recommend Green Park Nursery to other parents.
My daughter started nursery at the beginning of this year and to say I was nervous was an understatement. My daughter is an ex-premature baby so I think I worry a little more than most about her health and wellbeing as she has a few minor lasting issues but the staff have been fabulous reassuring...
Thank you guys you are doing a fab job.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. The staff that work there are amazing. My son is an only child and hasn't had many interactions with children of his age until he came to Green Park Nursery so it was a bit daunting for him and worrying for us. In his time here, the staff have gained his trust quickly and helped him massively and improved his social skills so much. After each day, they give me a round up of what he has done that day, whether it be a good or bad thing, including if he's slept and what he has eaten, these minute details are extremely important to my wife and I. He used to cry loudly when I dropped him off but now he happily latches onto one of the workers and always leaves a happy child and I can't thank them all enough for the work they have done with him. The standards are high and the improvements to my son's character are immeasurably. The only problem I see is that soup is a regular on the menu and my son doesn't like it, but he enjoys his bread rolls.
I am very pleased with the nursery. They are very attntative and have been addressing all our comments. Very well organised and managed.

My wife and I are very happy with how well our daughter is doing at Green Park Day Nursery. She has been attending now for 1 year and loved every minute of it. We are very lucky that she has formed such a strong bond with her lead carer, who moved up with her from Caterpillars to Ladybirds which made for a smooth transition, so much so that she runs into her arms every morning without even waving goodbye to her mum or I. Not only does she have a strong bond with her lead carer, but also the other teachers in her class who I cannot speak highly enough of.

My daughter who is in caterpillars started in July of this year at 9 months old. She settled in amazingly well and so quickly too. Her original key worker left after 3 weeks which I was disappointed in but was soon to be replaced by who I can only describe now as her “best friend”. My daughter absolutely adores her and is so delighted to see her each morning. They have a lovely relationship which shows in her diary of events on Parent Zone. The updates are fantastic to see and how detailed they are written. The descriptions show how much attention to detail they pay and how much fun they have at the same time. My daughter loves all the sensory areas they have in the room and enjoys cruising around their newly refurbished garden. The staff are very attentive and really take the time to get to know each child’s individual needs and dislikes. My daughter's secondary key worker is also fantastic and spends a lot of time with her which is very reassuring if her key worker is off.
My daughter has flourished under the care in Green Park Day Nursery. All staff are very understanding and patient, not only with my daughter but with me also and admin staff are also very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. The level of service and education given is great and I highly...

The level of service and education given is great and I highly recommend.
A nice and friendly nursery where children are taken good care of. It can be a bit more structured though and pre-school children can be taught specific subjects with a bit more discipline.

Thank you for your feedback. Our child led planning system works with children’s interests and their next steps in learning. Structured and planned teaching takes place at key points in the day, and free play is offered through enabling environments that support all aspects of learning and development. Our golden values allow staff to embed positive behaviour at an age-appropriate level.
Most of the staff are great, with child and parent.
Sometimes there is miscommunication in handovers and a lack of consistency.
