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.

We're so happy our little one loves attending Beacon Day Nursery! He is been going since 10 months old, and from the start we felt a real sense of joy and warmth there. We love the creativity around holidays and always look forward to receiving the art bundles. At home he often talks about "dancin," showing how much he enjoys the singing and dancing that they do at the nursery. The staff puts a lot of care and thought into choosing activities and resources that support cognitive development, and it's lovely to see how confidently he greets them each day. We truly appreciate the caring, attentive team and the warm, engaging environment they create. The only concern is the recent price increases, which may affect how many days he attends, but overall we're very grateful to have Beacon Day Nursery and the staff there as part of our community.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear the art bundles are appreciated. We believe that creativity, music and role playing enhances a child's well being and is very much a part of our ethos within the nursery. From when your child first started he has grown with confidence each day and we love the fact he enjoys dancing, as seeing the children express themselves is a delight to see.

My little girl attended this nursery from the baby room right through until she started school, and my little boy is currently in the baby room. Overall, we have had a very positive experience. The staff are genuinely lovely, caring, and attentive, and I've always felt my children were safe and well looked after.
The manager deserves a special mention - she is amazing. She's always approachable, accessible, and happy to speak with parents, which makes such a difference and gives real reassurance.
The only downside we've experienced has been with the financial side which was no fault of the nursery team on site level. I must say the staff at the nursery dealt really well with all of the questions us parents had and I'm sure they had to deal with some unhappy parents too during this period.

Aside from this, the care and support the children receive day to day has been excellent, and we've been very happy overall.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. It was lovely seeing your daughter grow through the nursery and seeing her leave as a happy and confident child. We are delighted to have your son here and seeing his big smiles is an absolute joy. We have a lovely partnership with parents and feel communication is important throughout the child's time at The Beacon Day Nursery.

Our son has attended The Beacon Day Nursery from 3 months old and is absolutely thriving! He loves his time there and always leaves happy and content. We can't fault his key person Aliyah, we always have a thorough handover and trust her entirely, along with Emma in the baby room who is also brilliant. We look forward to watching him grow over his few years at The Beacon.
