About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
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 child has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old, the staff are always welcoming and friendly, she is happy at the nursery they do lots of activities with the children and she always comes home with paintings, drawings etc. They have been very supportive during potty training and always encouraged her to use the toilets and are happy to change her if she’s had an accident. They hold Christmas fairs, bingo events and summer fairs to help fundraise for the nursery and encourage parents to come along and join in which is good for the community.

Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery. Can not fault them. They have been very adaptive to my child's needs. I have a child with medical needs and I know I am able to leave my child with them and know they are well looked after. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience
Definitely happy with everything, kind staff, interesting activities for children. It makes my heart melt when my baby comes home with a little present. My son enjoys it and in school holidays ask when he goes to nursery again. No complaints at all. Can say a huge thank you.
