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.

Sam Leeves

Sam LeevesJob Title Nursery ManagerJoined 2021

I have worked with children for the last 6 years and have been at Bluebell Hill for nearly 4 years now. I started as relief staff whilst completing my degree in early years education, and have since enjoyed progressing in my career and constantly building on my knowledge of the early years. I love being able to teach and inspire children every day, and mentoring staff in giving children the best possible experiences whilst at nursery.

I am also the nursery SENDco and am passionate about ensuring inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, working closely with families and children to ensure every child gets the best possible outcomes from their time with us!

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking my two dogs and going to the gym! Read less

Lauren Smith

Lauren SmithJob Title Deputy ManagerJoined 2025

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve been working in the Early Years for almost twenty years now. From the moment I left school, I knew I wanted to work with children, helping them learn, grow and develop. With a strong passion for learning environments for children, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time studying the Reggio Emilia philosophy, as well as the Montessori philosophy. I’ve worked in a variety of roles in the early years, including educator, SENCO, and additional adult for SEN children, as well as having previous experience as a Deputy Manager. I believe community is at the heart of a nursery school, as it takes a village to raise a child and building strong relationships with children and parents is the way to strengthen that community. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my two children. Read less
