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 7.3 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22 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.

Thank you for taking the time to discover Thornhill Day Nursery. My name is Becky Renolds, and I am delighted to be the Nursery Manager here.
With over 16 years of experience in childcare, I bring a broad knowledge of the sector to my role. I hold a BA (Honours) degree in Childhood and Youth Studies, along with several other qualifications, including Level 3 certifications in Speech & Language Support and Special Educational Needs (SEN).
I understand how crucial the beginning of a child’s educational journey is, and I strive to make this experience the very best by ensuring we meet each child’s individual needs. I have completed extensive work on enabling environments and creating communication-friendly spaces, always believing that any initiatives we implement should positively impact the children.
My passion for Early Years education drives me, and I find this role incredibly rewarding. I love watching the unique personalities of each child develop and seeing them proudly achieve their goals.
I am thrilled to be part of the Tommies Childcare family because our vision and values align, allowing me to lead my team effectively and ensure the children build a strong foundation to grow and flourish.
I warmly invite you to book a visit so I can show you all that Thornhill Nursery has to offer and introduce you to my wonderful team.
