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.

Blake attended MSDN from approx 8 months old, it was a challenge to send a baby so little to be cared for by someone else but the staff and space felt so caring and like a home from home. Blake loved being at nursery, he made friends and learned new skills and was cared for exceptionally the entire time he was there.
Blake made amazing connections with other children but also the adults all of whom remembered every child's name and have been welcoming and kind.
We are very greatful for the time Blake had at MSDN and it set him up to succeed in school.

Thank you for your kind review! We are so glad to hear that Blake enjoyed his time with us at Montagu and that we helped to make his transition to school go smoothly.

Our little one is in the baby room here and absolutely loves it. I was nervous about going back to work but the staff have been amazing and made the transition so much easier. They do lots of different activities - crafts, garden time, sensory trays etc. I love that all the staff know our little ones name and have really gotten to know their personality, even if they don't work in that room. Highly recommend

My daughter has been attending Montagu Square Day nursery for just over a year. During this time, she has grown in confidence and formed good bonds with the other children and the staff. She takes part in lots of different fun activities each day she attends which has helped with her development. The staff are warm and friendly and always give a thorough update at the end of each day.
Overall, I am extremely happy with Montagu Square Day Nursery and would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience
Great nursery, my child settled really well and genuinely loves all the staff. I like that it's an independent nursery and that the majority of staff has worked there for a long time. You can tell they all care about their work and love doing it

Our little boy (now 15 months) started at Montagu Square just before he turned 1 and he absolutely loves it. He looks forward to going in the morning, comes home happy in the evening and we get lots of photos of him enjoying lots of different activities during the day. The staff genuinely care and I love that everyone in the nursery knows his name, not just the staff in his room. My two comments for improvement is that the food can be quite sugary (e.g. biscuits for snack, brownie for pudding) but this will have to change with the new government regulations anyway, and that messy play could be messier (e.g. real leaves and natural objects rather than replicas). But a happy boy and a happy mum, highly recommended.
