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.

My daughter has been going to cornerstone for the last two and a half years full time and is doing very well. She's always loved the staff and room leads and there's always something fun and dynamic happening. We've rarely ever had a day where she doesn't want go to nursery. The setting is well maintained and of a good size with good outdoor space which is well used for creative activities. More recently she's particularly enjoyed the nature activities such as looking after the new ducklings or the caterpillars.

Recently my daughter has experienced some separation anxiety and I can't speak highly enough of the team. They've helped with her transitions and put things in place, and as a result, her anxiety is easing.
The time, care and dedication the nursery gives to my child is incredible and I couldn't be more grateful for their support. Cornerstone is an excellent nursery, that I'd recommend 100 times over.

I cannot speak about this nursery highly enough! The staff are calm, patient, caring and knowledgeable of my child and know how to help her progress academically but also emotionally. They always greet you with a smile and take the time to check in about how my child's morning has been. They also feedback on my daughter's day too.
My daughter has been there since she was about 1 and from the get go she loved it. She still does to this day. She's particularly loved watching duck eggs hatch and then watching them grow before they go to their forever home. So many wonderful experiences for her!
I have no worries about the nursery and preschool, only that I'm sad that she'll be leaving for "big school" soon because they have had such an impact to our whole families lives. 100/10 for everything.
Thank you Cornerstones for everything!

My daughter has been attending The Cornerstone Day nursery for around a year now and we are extremely pleased with the care she receives.

She loves going and rushes in and waves me off every time.
All the staff are lovely and very attentive and always give me a thorough handover and update at the end of the day including about food, sleep and nappies.
She has come on so much developmentally since being at nursery and all the staff are invested in her development. We even had a parents evening recently where they discussed the milestones and development areas she was excelling in and what they would be working on next!

My 3-year-old son attends this nursery and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The preschool room is organised, engaging and full of fun activities that keep the children stimulated and excited to learn. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into creating an environment where the children can explore, play and develop.
The staff are cooperative, kind and very experienced, which really shows in the way they care for the children. Hayden and Liz mainly look after my son and they are both fantastic. Their handovers at the end of the day are always detailed and thorough, which I really appreciate as a parent. They are both great assets to the nursery. The rest of the staff are equally as good, and it's reassuring to know my son is surrounded by such a caring and capable team.

My son is always happy to go into nursery and often wants to stay longer when I come to collect him - which says everything about how much he enjoys being there. The nursery provides a wide range of act

My little girl loves it here, the staff are all so attentive and she is often sent home with paintings and drawings. I always get a full run down of how she has done each day and regular photos. So glad we got her in here would highly recommend them.
