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 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 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 can't speak highly enough of this nursery. Every member of staff is friendly and welcoming - clearly demonstrating they care for your child. O can leave my child knowing they are well loved and cared for in a stimulating and caring environment.

We can't explain how wonderful the staff at Rivermead have been and how much trust we have in them. They are caring and gentle with our children and always professional and friendly with us all. They have supported us through the loss of one of our children with kindness and have supported the dual nationality of our children too. We are very sad to leave Rivermead and move to another country and I doubt we will ever find another nursery to meet their high standards.
The staff have been wonderful, so much so that my son settled in almost immediately and now is excited each morning before nursery. I'm confident that my son will continue to thrive here.

My son loves coming to nursery and claps when we arrive. He seems really happy here, and I couldn't recommend it enough to other parents.

We can't rate River View highly enough! Both our daughters have thrived here. It really does feel like a big family, and the staff take so much care to support them in developing.

My child started to come to River View when he was a year old, and he has been looked after with love by all the staff and management team since then. I recommend this nursery to all the local mums who are looking for one and really satisfied with the care my boy is getting.

What is your favourite feature of River View?My favourite feature of our nursery is our garden. We have a lovely open space split into three sections for each age group and set out with those ages in mind. We have been growing our own fruits and vegetables in our allotment and it also invites bees and butterflies to our garden.
What are you most proud of about your team/nursery?I am most proud of how welcoming our setting and team are. Every time we have visitors they always comment on how all of the team will say hello and welcome them into the nursery with a smile. This also means we have a lot of long-standing staff in our setting.
