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.

My daughter really loves being at Kingsmead Day Nursery. She enjoys the activities and is very stimulated by her time there. The staff are really switched on and know each child very well. The pre-school unit seems a bit cramped but the baby unit is very spacious. The garden is really lovely and well-appointed. My daughter has been at Kingsmead since she was 6 months old and has always loved it.
Thank you so much for your review we are so glad your daughter loves our nursery. The pre-school unit may feel smaller but in fact, is exactly the same size as our baby unit, only it is split into four rooms and with free-flow access to the garden all day long. We make every effort to ensure throughout the day there is ample space for all our children. both inside and out. Thanks again.
My daughter started Kingsmead in January 2020, and we both love it. The staff are all amazing, and so helpful. I have seen so many changes to my daughter this year, and most of it is thanks to Kingsmead and all their hard work with her. Thank you so much.

My daughter started Kingsmead back in September 2019. Since then I have been extremely satisfied with the care and support she receives from every member of staff. My daughter is thriving being at Kingsmead. They have helped her overcome her shyness and is now growing in confidence every single day! The meals she receives are excellent and I am often quite jealous of dinners. I couldn't recommend Kingsmead Day nursery enough. Thank you for all you do.
Kingsmead is an excellent nursery/preschool, providing a combination of home from home care as well as very well-run activities and events for children and their parents. Our children have always been very happy to attend Kingsmead.

We have two children at Kingsmead Day Nursery in Winchester, one baby and one pre-schooler. We have been very impressed with the care both children receive during their time at Kingsmead. The staff are very caring and are excellent about communicating with us. Kingsmead provides many different age-appropriate activities for the children; their garden is excellent. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a nursery to care for their child/children to give strong consideration to Kingsmead.

Both of our children loved their time at Kingsmead in Winchester, prior to progressing to their prep school. We loved the outdoor space and all of the activities that the nursery organised including the amazing Christmas concert. The staff were all fantastic, it was a real family atmosphere which put them at ease and has really set the children on their way. The location was perfect with easy parking in the centre of the city for drop off and collection. We are so grateful for the time and effort that the nursery put into our children during their time there. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day nursery.

Our older daughter has just transitioned to 'big school' after four wonderful years at Kingsmead. Kingsmead has provided her with so many unique and wonderful experiences from day one - painting using her feet wrapped in bubble wrap (as a baby); an outing on the bus to buy baking ingredients (She recalls this every time the number one bus goes past); toasting marshmallows and hot dogs on the fire pit; regular musical theatre and forest school sessions, the list goes on. The nursery also puts on a very sweet Christmas nativity and lovely Mothers Day and Fathers Day events. There is really nothing to fault - the facilities are bright & clean with a recently upgraded garden and the staff are so invested in the kids, and many of the kids move together to the 'big school' next door to continue their friendships. We can't recommend Kingsmead highly enough as a first step on your child's learning journey and we are so glad we have another daughter who has just started hers at Kingsmead.

The ladies at Kingsmead are the best! Our little one absolutely loves going there...he looks forward to it every day and when he comes home he loves talking about how much fun he had with all of them. They have great facilities with big open play areas outside and inside; they have lots of toys and books, and they feed these kids well! I can't say enough good things about them! If there was a rating above Excellent, they would earn it!
We could not be more pleased with our experience at Kingsmead Day Nursery. Our son has been there for a year and a half, starting at just 6 months old. They were so kind about letting me come often to settle him in before his actual start date and have taken such wonderful care of him since then....
