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.

For every parent, it is daunting leaving their child, but everyone at Grasshoppers has been so supportive and kind, it certainly has made it easier for us as parents. Our little boy has struggled being left but clearly as soon as we leave he has a lovely time and has developed so much within a few months.
His Key Worker has been amazing and this clearly shows in the way he is with her (and the photos/video's on I Connect), her time and dedication has been outstanding and this is very reassuring for us. Even producing a little book for him to take home with familiar photo's of the nursery and staff to assist him settling in.
The staff take time in getting to know the children on an individual basis and will take the time to speak to parents to reassure and discuss any concerns.
I would not hesitate to recommend Grasshoppers.

Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was 10 months old, she is now 22 months and developing really well thanks to the superb care they provide. She settled well and has always been really happy. The facilities and activities are great, the garden is amazing. We receive thorough feedback every day and her key worker regularly uploads photos and information on her progress onto Parent Zone so we can see how she's doing, it's really lovely to read. The management team are super efficient, really helpful and friendly. Overall we are really pleased with Grasshoppers and would highly recommend.
Really pleased with the care provided. I know my son is happy at the nursery and enjoys the activities they do. The carers are all lovely and my son gets on so well with a number of them. Great staff. Lovely nursery.

A great nursery with superb staff who care but also work well together. They always have time to talk to me and support my requests as best as they can. Management is fun, fair and firm. Makes interaction approachable and a flexible response is sought as a default.

I have never visited/viewed or put any of my 3 children in a nursery as beautiful as Grasshoppers. As soon as you walk in you are greeted (after the secure entry) by a warm smile and beautiful big hallway. Outdoor space is superb a garden for each room, huge shared garden and an allotment patch....
I highly recommend this nursery and am so grateful that my son is here and he is thriving.

I would be more than happy to recommend Grasshoppers Day Nursery. Taking your child to the nursery for the first time can be daunting for any parent and I was terrified on that first day! I was met by the staff who were extremely comforting and welcoming. They immediately showed an interest in my daughter and helped her to settle in nicely. I left the nursery, after dropping her off and tried to sneak away thinking she would react better, however, she caught me leaving (my heart sunk) and then she came over to me, said goodbye and toddled off to play house with a member of staff! I almost skipped out of the door! Since then my daughter has bonded so well with all the staff and other children and loves Nursery days! She has also developed in so many areas and loves learning new things! Wouldn't consider sending her anywhere else.
All the staff in the nursery know the children's names in other room and they all know the staff.

Our child is very happy at Grasshoppers. He started at 13 months old and is now 2 and a half years. He has made wonderful progress in all aspects of his development, and we believe it is also thanks to Grasshoppers. The friendships he developed with children and adults and being involved in fun group activities, playing, singing and dancing. Staff are always very welcoming, caring, kind and able to answer questions anytime. The Parent Zone app is great, as it puts a smile on my face to see our boy exploring and having fun when we are at work., We're very happy that kids spend time outdoors too! Highly recommended.
Always take the time to talk to parents if there are any worries. Reception staff are always helpful and make the parents and child feel really welcome. My little boy has settled really well in his new room.

Great members of the team in pre-school. They all made my daughter feel welcome and involved from day one. One of the nursery practitioners provides great feedback after every session, treating/recalling all children individually. I am also provided with great feedback online to comment on. The nursery team leader made settling in and understanding parental aspects easy and comfortable. Another one of the nursery practitioners is always welcoming to my daughter, ensuring she is settled and answers any questions or queries.
A very caring environment where the staff members clearly care a lot for the children they are taking care of. Communication skills are very good from the nursery and as parents we were kept well informed on our child's day/how she had been in herself.

Fab first parents evening. Staff appeared to be confident and knowledgeable on my son. They seemed positive and provided in depth information for me. The evening was organised well and I didn't have to wait to be seen!

Both my boys love/d nursery and are/were very happy there. They gained valuable social skills interacting with the staff and loved the food. The opening hours make work-life balance possible and even though expensive it provides good opportunities for development and play
