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 49 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 49 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 23.3 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.

Can not thank Apricot Nursery enough. My son has been attending the nursery for 3 year and his confidence, speech and play has improved massively, it seems to be every single day! He absolutely loves his time at nursery, and I will be sad when he leaves to start 'big school'.

As my daughter gets ready to start school, I wanted to take a moment to thank the incredible team at Apricot Nursery for everything they've done for us over the past few years. My daughter started at the nursery when she was just 8 months old. Through the years, the warmth and kindness from the staff, put me completely at ease. From her very first days, the care and attention she received was exceptional. I've always felt informed through regular updates, photos, and check-ins making me feel connected and reassured every step of the way. The way the nursery prepared her for this next step has been outstanding.
Saying goodbye is emotional, but we leave with nothing but gratitude. To everyone at the nursery-thank you for the love, care, and guidance you've given us.
And to one member of staff in particular - a big thank you for being such a constant, kind, and loving part of her early years. We'll never forget what you've done for us.

My youngest daughter joined the nursery a few months ago, my eldest already attends and has been doing extremely well. My youngest was very shy, played alone and generally quiet and didn't say many words/sentences. Now going to the nursery she's really come on leaps and bounds in all aspects and is almost the opposite in every way. Its lovely to see her be friends with other children her own age, be better at sharing and playing with others. She's loud and playful and her communication has improved tenfold. I can't recommend the nursery enough, they've given such wonderful care and attention to my girls.
