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.

I have been using Nature Trails for over 5 years now and it has been worth every penny. Nature Trails has ensured both my children reach their potential before starting school which sets them up for success long term. My son was a challenging baby and the staff really helped me overcome these challenges. I attend the Parents in Partnership meetings every term and it's easy to see why the nursery is such a success.
Nature Trails Day Nursery is an excellent setting. A great balance of indoor activities and learning with outdoor experiences and forest school. My daughter loves attending, as did my son. The staff make it and are excellent in the care and support they offer.

Nature Trails has exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with the care and nurturing our daughter receives. The staff are excellent, they follow the EYFS and make us as parents feel welcome and involved with our daughter's learning. Child-led activities are engaging and fun, meals are homemade on site and lots of outdoor play is encouraged. Our daughter's key worker is brilliant and so good with her. We love hearing about her day when we come to collect her.

The experiences my children encounter at the nursery are fantastic! Learning is based on the children’s ideas which ensure that my children are thoroughly engaged and can’t wait to attend. My eldest child has made so much progress since starting nursery and now my youngest is also benefiting from the stimulating environment and caring and nurturing staff. My children’s key workers have built excellent relationships with us and keep us informed regularly if their progress.

The range of activities available is fantastic, I love that they go out for forest school, and they have done an amazing job getting my son ready to start school in a few weeks. Thank you, everyone.
