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 7.5 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.

Springthorpe Day Nursery and Pre-school is an excellent nursery. The staff are highly professional, they care about each individual child. They have helped me with my child's development, the safe-guarding has been excellent in relation to his needs. They provide excellent opportunity for learning and have great facilities - in and out door. Excellent management. I feel very lucky to have such a nice nursery.
My son has been attending Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school since September 2023 and I can honestly say that it’s the best decision we have ever made for him. His confidence has improved immensely, his speech and cognitive skills improve every day and he has made some amazing friends in both...
The staff take such amazing care and put so much love into their work. I am put at ease knowing that my son is so well loved and taken care of.
We are especially impressed with our son's key worker who is honestly an angel in disguise (every member of staff) our son adores her!
I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your wonderful review of Springthorpe. We are so pleased that you have seen positive changes in your son since he started with us.

A very high staff turnover which I was told was because they are trying to get the right staff and let go of old staff that don’t fit what Tommies are trying to uphold. I was told this by the area manager. Which is fair enough but they only started letting me know who was looking after my son after I spoke to her. Previous to that, there were people there with no uniform.
My husband and I were not happy with the manager and her attitude towards my husband for a “misunderstanding” which wasn’t a misunderstanding at all, the manager lied. Along with other things that happened where I wasn’t listened to or just ignored.
The area manager was professional when she contacted me and obviously, she tried to sort the situation but I feel it’s my responsibility to tell other parents my situation.

Dear Danielle,
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We are very sorry to have received this review from you. We pride ourselves on the service we provide to parents looking to make one of the most important decisions regarding their childcare.
We completely understand your concern regarding staff turnover at the nursery. Unfortunately, nurseries and other childcare providers across the sector are having significant difficulties in recruiting. However, it is vital that we do everything we can to ensure that we hire the right people to care for the children in our care. While our stringent recruitment procedure may mean it takes us a little longer to hire staff, we believe this is the correct approach to take.
In regard to your other concern, we can only apologise for the breakdown in communication on our part. We believe this relates to a graduation event which was due to be held at the nursery. While we accept that the date of the event should have been communicated to you and your husband in a more productive way, we assure you that there was no intention to mislead you.
We would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss your concerns further. Should this be something you wish to do, please feel free to reach out to us.
In the meantime, we wish you and your family all the best for the future.
Fantastic nursery and great staff. My child has come along really well since attending. Great communication and an app where you can see how your child is doing. They teach your child skills, ready for starting school.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since April, and for the short time she has been there, she absolutely loves it here. Myself as a parent, I am so pleased with the nursery and cannot fault a thing. All of the staff are welcoming, friendly and always approachable for chat. I am constantly updated with what my daughter eats, when she sleeps and what activities she does in the day via the app. She has come on leaps and bounds with her confidence since attending the nursery, and I have total peace of mind when she is there. We are encouraged as parents to be involved with our childs development, with monthly activities to do at home, and we are asked to submit information on what our children do outside of nursery. I honestly cannot think of a single bad word to say.

Management behaviour and attitude are greedy and disgusting. Springthorpe kept refusing entry for my child and requested PCR test results, even if she was not ill. Staff didn't do as much as at least measure her temperature, instead kept refusing her entry from day to day while I saw other kids...
At the top of this, I paid full month fees and stop bringing my child as the manager wouldn't let her in. A month later she was cheeky enough to call me to request another month's payment, as an excuse I was told I didn't give notice in writing, but at the same time in 1 month's time nobody even called to ask if the child is alright, if she's coming back or how she's doing, I received a phone call only when they were after money. I feel disgusted remembering this awful experience. Avoid this place!

At the time of the issue you have referenced, the guidance we were following from the DfE was that children displaying symptoms of Covid-19 either needed to self-isolate for 10 days or secure a negative test result before attending the nursery. As you decided not to test your child (neither PCR nor LFT), our policy was that your child would then need to self-isolate for the required period. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, however, we were duty-bound to follow the guidance in place at that time.
We wish you and your family all the best. If you wish to discuss your concerns further, please do feel free to contact us.
Thank you very much for the great job the nursery is doing.

Staff are always very friendly. My son has struggled with being upset going, but they have really looked after.

Thank you for taking the time to discover Springthorpe Day Nursery. My name is Lucinda Rumble (call me Lou), and I'm the Nursery Manager here. I have more than 20+ years' experience in early education and am a Mum of three myself.
Since earning my childcare qualifications in 1999, I've spent my career creating learning environments where every child feels seen, nurtured, and encouraged. I believe I bring a wealth of leadership to the team here, having spent more than 15 years as a Nursery Manager.
I joined Tommies because our ethos here matches my own. We focus on warm relationships with families, provide thoughtful care for the children entrusted to us, and create purposeful learning opportunities through play that develop confidence and independence.
My door is always open to families who want to visit, so please take 1 minute to arrange a time to come by, and we'll show you how our team can support your child's next steps.
