About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
Working parents of 2 to 3 year olds can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week, and some families on qualifying benefits can claim 15 hours regardless of working status. 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 son has been at this nursery three years now, and the change over that time has been noticeable. Early on it felt fine but a bit impersonal, not always that "known" feeling you want when leaving your child somewhere all day. Since then things have really turned a corner. A big part of that is Vicky. She's brilliant with my son, understands him as an individual, and balances warmth with the right guidance. He talks about her at home and lights up on mornings she's in, and she always gives thoughtful little updates at pickup rather than generic ones. Harry, the manager, deserves huge credit. He clearly puts in genuine extra effort, drop off and pickup feel organised, issues get sorted quickly, he always makes time for a proper chat, and you can tell he genuinely cares about getting things right, not just running the place. Special mention also for Rae and Maddie, so lovely with the children, our son really likes them both.
So glad we stuck with it. Highly recommend.

I can't thank the manager and the enough for settling my child into nursery. There is not a day I leave her and worry about her, the care from all staff, I find everyone at the nursery very helpful. If I have ever needed anything e.g. help, information or even just a chat, they have always been happy to help. My child loves all of the staff at nursery. She calls them her friend. So a massive thank you from all for all the hard work you put into making the children's day everyday.

My son has been going to Saint Felix Nursery for over a year now and we and he are very happy. He loves going in each day and always bounds out with lots of stories of his day and talks often about his friends and his teachers, especially one particular lady. Recently there has been some staff disruption and we know things are really tough in the childcare sector but they have weathered this well. If I had anything negative it would be around the use of the app which still isn't quite as slick as it maybe could be and the food and nutritional elements. The children are often given cake and sweet treats and I do think in this day and age when we know how harmful sugar is to our children that this shouldn't be happening. But that is my own personal preference. We have loved Saint Felix, it's no more expensive than any other nursery and you get more for your money than anywhere else locally.
I hope the current staff are looked after and rewarded by the management at Saint Felix as they sure do deserve it.

My only feedback would be the sad loss of the outdoor play equipment (lighthouse etc), which does not seem to be being replaced.

My son is so excited every morning to attend the nursery. He misses his friends and staff during the holidays. I know he is well looked after and he is happy when he is there. He can recall what he has learnt, and I see his personal development. Also, I appreciate the daily communication with his teachers verbally, written and online. I will send my second child to Saint Felix Nursery as I believe this is the best in the area.

My son attends this nursery. On his recent report, he was encouraged to complete 'child's voice' and this is what he said, "school is lovely. I love all my school friends. I really want to go to school every day and on the weekend. I love my teachers because they work very hard". My husband and I are very happy, and especially with our son's social and educational development. We were so pleased when he learnt how to write is name by himself and was able to interact with other children so well - he experienced high anxiety with other children.
I totally recommend and will place our future children in this nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery! I think she’d rather be there than at home sometimes. She always comes home with a smile on her face. She really loves all her learning and the staff at Saint Felix nursery. She has grown in confidence and is able to develop her skills in a safe environment. She has access to some excellent facilities such as swimming and is given the opportunity to learn French! She often counts in French now rather than English, aged just 3!
I feel confident every morning dropping her off that she is going to have a happy, fun-filled day.

Our experience with St Felix Nursery was all positive, our child just grew from strength to strength in all areas of his development. The staff were always professional, approachable and nurturing toward the children. The staff always had a rotation of exciting activities planned, and our child enjoyed them all, from learning about nature and making use of the secure school grounds, to expressive work with paints and art materials, through to exploring music.
Our child absolutely loved going into the nursery; he never looked back, just enjoyed every moment.

I have had the privilege of being part of Saint Felix Nursery and School since 2001.
After spending many years as being Nursery Supervisor and qualifying with a degree of BA with Honours in Children’s Care, Learning and Development, I was excited to teach the Reception Class. I have also had the pleasure of watching my own three children develop and thrive through their own ‘learning journey’ here at Saint Felix.
At Saint Felix Nursery School we know that play is a child’s most important work, each child is unique, therefore they learn at their own pace. Our team strive to create and maintain an environment where children grow, learn, and thrive while exploring the world around them.

I joined the team at Saint Felix Nursery as a nursery assistant in April 2021 and became Nursery Supervisor in August 2022. I began my career working in the early year sector after leaving school over 10 years ago. Within this time, I have gained experience working in several different early years settings, including nurseries and pre-schools. I completed my Foundation Degree in Children’s Care, Learning and Development in 2016. I love to see the children flourish and develop in our care at Saint Felix Nursery. We strive to provide all children with the best opportunities to learn and develop, within a safe environment.

I have over twelve years of experience working in early years settings, within that time I have gained many qualifications, including my Level 3 Early Years Educator.
