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 child and myself are very happy with this nursery, I find i can go to work feeling completely at ease that he is safe, well looked after and completely happy with the staff and facilities. I feel my child has a very good connection and relationship with the room leader and his personal keyworker. He shows nothing but excitement generally when he attends nursery. I feel myself that I have a good relationship with the staff and they always take the time to update me on the days events.
Since my son started nursery in March 2015, he has learnt to walk, speak and has settled in really well with the help of the brilliant staff at Puffins. I would highly recommend them to any other parent thinking of sending their child to a nursery in the city centre.
