About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of 2 to 3 year olds can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week, and some families on qualifying benefits can claim 15 hours regardless of working status. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery applies funded hours during term time only. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 3 funded hours per day, used only during term time. With your selected funding, 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.

The teachers genuinely care about your child's emotional needs. I have never had to worry that my child might be too hot, cold or unable to speak to his teachers about anything that is on his mind, all his needs are met to the highest standard. The children are given the opportunity to thrive at nursery. I cannot recommend Dair House School Nursery highly enough!

We’ve had a great experience with the nursery at Dair House School Nursery. Despite starting during Covid-19 restrictions, our son settled in well. Communication is good, despite current limitations, with a programme of their activities for the week shared ahead and observations recorded in an online app. Food is provided by the school kitchen and there’s a good variety of meals. We’ve recently moved from half-days to full days and that has worked well too. I have great confidence that the nursery are providing a great foundation for our son starting school in September.
Thank you for your kind review of Dair House Nursery School.

The nursery teachers are fun, enthusiastic, approachable and have my child's best interests at all times.
The weekly planning sheets and the online Tapestry means I know what my child has done and is doing, allowing me to engage and reinforce her learning.
Nursery children get an opportunity to play a part in the school nativity play. I am looking forward to seeing this.
Thank you for kind review.
