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 nursery have been great in informing me of how he is progressing whilst assisting in that natural progression.

My little one started in the baby room at 10 months old in 2023. From day 1 the manager has been amazing at making sure that all of his needs were met, as he wasn't the easiest child to transition into nursery. He quickly learnt to love nursery, the staff and his friends. He tells me all about the food he has eaten, the toys he has played with, the staff he has spoken to and the activities in the garden. Developmentally, the nursery take into account what each individual is working on. They go above and beyond the expected curriculum. At the moment, my child is being supported in learning his second language. Emotionally, his keyworker is helping him to express himself more and he loves a cuddle when he needs support. All of the staff are so caring that he will happily go to any of them for a cuddle. I am kept informed on everything daily via the app and in person. I can't wait for baby number 2 to start.
It is amazing to hear how much your little one has grown in confidence and settled into nursery, especially after a challenging transition. Seeing him build strong relationships, enjoy his days, and share his experiences with you is so special.We are so pleased that you appreciate the individual...
It is amazing to hear how much your little one has grown in confidence and settled into nursery, especially after a challenging transition. Seeing him build strong relationships, enjoy his days, and share his experiences with you is so special.We are so pleased that you appreciate the individual support he receives, both developmentally and emotionally. Supporting children in their learning, including second languages, and helping them express themselves is something we are passionate about. It is also lovely to hear that he feels comfortable with all of our caring team members when he needs a cuddle or reassurance.Thank you for your kind words about our communication and for your trust in us. We are so excited to welcome baby number two when the time comes!

5 years later my youngest is in this nursery and is soaring with confidence.
All staff are very informative and supportive of each child's individual needs.
They offer a variety of items on the menu and the app they use to communicate with parents is very informative as it gives an extensive breakdown of the day.
My son settled in very quickly and warmed to all staff with no hesitations!
His key worker had gotten to know him very well and they also have a parent's evening for parents looking at each key area of your child's development and identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
They have an amazing outdoor area.
The booking system is also flexible and has allowed for additional bookings when required.
I would highly recommend this nursery for any parent considering daycare.

The manager and staff are very helpful whenever needed; even when we have difficulty with the kids at home, we consult with them, and they are always happy to help.
We used to live close to the nursery when we registered the older child, even though we moved house, we are still happy to drive a few miles and take them to the same nursery.

Also, the fact that with both of us not being from the UK, the management, key worker and rest of the staff have adapted and accommodated our child needs. This also made this nursery our number one option as they clearly promote diversity and inclusion values from the management, staff to the children.
Our little one has improved a lot in her social and communication skills, even if she just does 2-days a week.
A huge, huge thank you to all of the teachers and staff at Stoneygate Montessori Nursery!

A huge, huge thank you to all of the teachers and staff at Stoneygate Montessori Nursery! I genuinely couldn’t be any happier with our choice of the nursery, as the quality of education and overall care of my 4-year-old son has been nothing short of outstanding. The staff are so warm and welcoming, and my son happily talks about his teachers each evening and all the fun activities he’s been engaged in! From the moment we visited, we could see how much the staff cared about the children and their learning. The environment (both inside and outside) is set up beautifully to cover different areas of the curriculum, and we’re delighted that he’s being encouraged to prepare for school. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

Being a parent sending your child to nursery can be so daunting! Especially when it's the first time and you have never done it before! All we knew was that we wanted a home away from home for our daughter, somewhere where the transition from home life to school would be seamless. Stoneygate Montessori gave this and more. The staff are so caring and attentive to every need of both the children and parents. The method of teaching, playing, and learning is just amazing. Communication between parents and the nursery is always open and honest; they will always put me at ease regarding any situation. It is so clear that each individual member of staff take their job seriously, and the kids are very happy and comfortable in those surroundings. I am so glad that we made the decision to send our child there and just grateful for all the hardwork they put in into the children. I couldn't recommend these guys enough!
I cannot praise this nursery and the staff enough. My daughter absolutely loved the year she spent there every day and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about all the different activities she did and different foods she ate each day. We both had a fantastic rapport with all the staff there and still...

My child has been attending this nursery since a very young age, the staff were very accommodating in taking us in at the last minute due to a letdown at a previous nursery and we haven't looked back since.
The facilities are excellent as well as the resident cook.
If you are still looking at a nursery place for your child then look no further than Stoneygate Montessori, wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

The prospect of sending our daughter to nursery was a nerve wracking experience. However, once we visited the Stoneygate Montessori Nursery and met the manager, our minds were eased. The team made us feel welcome and our daughter took a shine to her immediately. Since starting nursery our daughters physical, social, emotional and cognitive development has come on in leaps and bounds. Her language skills have improved, as have her creativity, cleanliness, toilet and eating habits. As an only child, we were worried that our daughter would struggle to share and play with other children. However, her time at the Stoneygate Montessori Nursery has more than made up for this and she is developing into a thoughtful and polite child. When she is not at nursery she is always asking for her nursery carers and misses them dearly. I cannot think of a better review than her smiling face, when she arrives and her tears upon leaving. Choosing Montessori is a decision you won’t regret.

My first daughter has been attending this nursery since January 2019 when she was 8-months-old; she is now 3-years and 4-months and in pre-school. We have been delighted with the progress she has made both academically and socially. This is due to the dedicated staff members and the sense of warmth and belonging they instil. We are so happy with this nursery that my second daughter (9-months-old) has started going there from the 1st September 2021. She had four settlings in sessions of 1.5 hours each prior to her starting, which really help her to build bonds with her key workers.
I enrolled my son in April 2021. The nursery staff made my son and I feel extremely comfortable about the transition and kept me very well informed about his progress.

For the few months my son has been attending, his language and social skills have become much more advanced, and his interactions with other children have matured. The staff have shown great care and love to my son, and have ensured that we, as parents, feel happy with his progression.
