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.

The staff at the nursery are brilliant and their passion really shows through how comfortable and cared for my child is.
I cannot recommend Rock Cottage Nusery enough to anyone thinking about putting their child in this nursery.
Fantastic nursery with a great staff. Lovely welcoming place. All my children have gone here. It's great to see them learn and develop skills and enjoy it so much. The nursery itself is in a lovely location and all the staff are fantastic

My son has been attending Rock Cottage for 6 months now since he was 12 months old. Even when I viewed the nursery at 8 months pregnant I always got a warm and friendly welcome from all of the staff and the manager. I attended multiple times with my son before he started full time. Where I met with the staff and go through everything to ensure he settled in well for my return to work. The daily logs are updated timely and accurately. They constantly message me back if I ask questions. They put on a wonderful range of activities for the children and we attended a lovely light switch on just before Christmas. They seem to reinvest in new things like the new wooden hut for the outside play area and get children outside as much as they can even in the snow! Communication is amazing if you do have concerns or if a child is unwell and security is taken very seriously. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and have recommended it to several other families.
Our daughter started attending the nursery this academic year. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining.

Our daughter eats really well, is changed and looked after throughout the day and is always greeted with a smile.

Our son settled quickly after starting nursery which made it less of a worry when leaving him when I returned to work.
My daughter has always loved this nursery. She goes in happily and has made great relationships with both the adults and her peers. They send regular photo updates so we can see all the amazing things she does there. They also share half termly reviews reporting on your child's progress and...

We couldn't be happier with our son's nursery. He attends five days a week in the Baby Blossoms room, and the care he receives is wonderful. The ladies who look after him are so kind, attentive and genuinely caring, which gives us complete peace of mind.

We couldn't be happier with our son's nursery. He attends five days a week in the Baby Blossoms room, and the care he receives is wonderful. The ladies who look after him are so kind, attentive and genuinely caring, which gives us complete peace of mind.
The app is fantastic - we receive live updates throughout the day on his food, naps and nappy changes, which helps us feel connected to his day. The photos they share are beautiful and really show the range of activities on offer. He especially loves the outdoor sessions.
The building itself is lovely and the outdoor space is fantastic - it feels warm and an inviting place to be.
We feel so lucky to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment for him.
Brilliant nursery. Tracy is a fabulous manager and it all runs so smoothly. I feel that everyone goes above and beyond and really care for all of the children. My children have all felt wanted there and enjoyed their time there. Thank you

Our experience with Rock Cottage Nursery has been exceptional. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child's development. Both of our boys have thrived in such a caring, safe, and engaging environment, and it's clear how much effort goes into creating fun, structured learning every day. Communication with parents is excellent, and the atmosphere always feels welcoming and supportive. We honestly wouldn't consider sending our two boys anywhere else. Rock Cottage Nursery has set the standard for what a nursery should be, and we feel very lucky to be part of it.

My daughter started at Rock Cottage in September 2025 after having some lovely transition days. Since starting she's has come on leaps and bounds developmentally and socially. Every day that she attends she has the best time and I love seeing the updates on the app. I particularly love the range of activities they offer the children and how the staff really get to know the children All of the staff are so friendly and make you feel very welcome. The staff in the Baby Blossom room are fantastic! I wouldn't want her attending any other nursery.

Our little girl settled so well at the nursery due to how lovely the ladies are. Lucy in the baby room was especially lovely and made us feel welcome everyday. Our little girl is now in the acorn room and the staff are brilliant there too. Jess is her key worker and I really feel like she knows her inside out. Nothing is too much trouble. I feel so relaxed knowing she is well cared for.

A wide range of exciting and engaging activities are thoughtfully planned for the children, and each half term includes special event days that the children absolutely love. The outdoor areas are always well used, giving the children plenty of opportunities to explore and play.
