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 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 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.

Ladybirds always has such a great variety of activities for the children to explore throughout the day.

Nature trails has been a fantastic setting for our son to develop in and he has thrived during his time in Ladybirds! We have watched our son's confidence soar since he has joined and he loves all different activities he gets to enjoy, especially with so much opportunity to play outside. All the staff are amazing and are so friendly whenever we interact with them. Their attentiveness to his allergies has also been impeccable. We couldn't recommend Nature Trails and Ladybirds highly enough!

The staff are very caring and are very good at what they do. This includes the reception staff and the administrators who have always been very patient with me when I have phoned up with enquiries about fees etc. I have never had to complain about anything there and would recommend this nursery to everyone.
Nothing but positive things to say about Nature Trails. Our daughter is so well cared for, is developing wonderfully there and we have absolute trust in all the team. This is our 3rd child to attend and we have confidently recommended it to others.

Nature Trails is an outstanding nursery, and we couldn't be happier with the experience our daughter has had during her three years there. From the very beginning, the caring and nurturing environment has been something we love most. Our daughter looks forward to going in each day and always leaves with a smile, excited to share all the fun and learning from her day. She has developed strong bonds with her keyworkers and formed close friendships with her peers, all of which have played a vital role in her growth. We've watched her thrive, gaining new skills and growing in confidence every day. The nursery has truly laid the foundation for her future education, fostering a love for learning and curiosity that will serve her well in school.
Fantastic nursery , very beautiful, staff are always helpful and willing to help and help work with you, updates and news is awesome around brilliant nursery, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining this nursery and will be sad for her to leave to start school in September :(

As a single mum starting a new job, navigating the different childcare options and support available was overwhelming. The admin staff were incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making the process much easier. My daughter's first days at nursery were a big transition, but the warm and welcoming staff reassured me that she was in good hands. Now, six months on, she absolutely loves going to nursery every morning, and I've seen such a positive change in her confidence and development. I couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.
Amazing nursery, both my children attend and absolutely love it. The staff and care that they give to the children is faultless. The meals they provide are fresh and healthy and the outdoor areas are so lovely. It is like a home from home for my little ones.

We chose the nursery based on the emphasis of the kids spending much time outdoors and they have great facilities to keep kids engaged and excited to be outside.

My son has been at nature trails for over two years now and loves coming to nursery each day. He's always in a rush to get to his room. He's has built strong bonds with all the staff in all of the rooms he's been in. There's always lovely activities out that peak his interest and keeps him engaged. The outdoor spaces are amazing and well kept too. My son loves the food he has at nursery and always eats well.
My son is currently at the setting. He is thriving. He has the most amazing bonds with all the adults involved with his care and he has great friendships with the peers in his room. I love the nursery and have picked the best place for my son to learn and develop in all areas.

My son eats most of his meals and he always seems to have a great variety of food. He sleeps well at nursery too which shows that he is comfortable there.
My son comes home with artwork that he has created which is lovely.
Each day when I pick him up, the girls in his room always give me a thorough handover of what he has been doing which is great to know all about his day when I have been missing him at work.

Could do with a few more updates on the app, multiple updates a day when they are babies but drops to once a week or every other week by preschool. Staff are always happy to discuss child's day/progress at pick up and drop off.
Overall a lovely environment, which encourages children to learn, play and grow their confidence and independence.
Our twin daughter's have thrived at Nature Trails. They have benefitted from consistently excellent care and support throughout the phases, tailored to meet their development needs.

As parents, we have enjoyed strong relationships, with staff who have always been clear, approachable and supportive. We thoroughly recommend Nature Trails as a place for all children to thrive.
We finished over 4 and a half years with Nature Trails between two children. We couldn't have asked for more in terms of peace of mind and positive impact that's been made on our children. We'll be forever grateful!

Over the moon with the care my daughter has had since joining Bumbeblees two. I was very anxious for her to start nursery but they have been nothing but reassuring to both me and my daughter. Her key person has been amazing and my daughter now asks to come and see her. The nursery has also met all of her complex dietary needs which is a huge relief.
