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.

Our little boy started in January after being at home with his mum for 11 months with no baby groups or any socialising around apart from who he already knew. Initially, we were worried about how he would cope being around so many other children, adapting to his routine of going to nursery. Looking back now we had nothing to worry about, our boy has settled so well every picture we see he's happy, clean and learning new things every day. The staff are great! They are accommodating to every need, understanding and so welcoming every morning. They love him like we do its that for us that counts. We feel when we drop him off he's safe, and happy there's nothing more we could ask for.

My little one has been attending nursery for a while now and loves it. He has flourished since starting nursery and is very confident. He is very well looked after and we get regular updates on his development and what he has been up to. The staff are all lovely and happy to help. I always feel welcomed when picking up my child and given a detailed description of his day. The food is well balanced and nutritional, overall a wonderful nursery.
Amazing care by all of the staff. The staff go above and beyond to encourage confidence and development of the children. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the hard work and understanding.

My experience is pleasant so far. My son has shown lots of improvement in terms of understanding interpersonal skills, behaving really well outside and also coping well with his needs and demands. It's his first experience outside of his home and he is settling really well with the nursery. Thanks very much, Nene Valley Day Nursery for your support in making him a better person.
We felt supported by the nursery practitioners during my daughter's transition to the bigger room, they kept us updated and reassured by sending over lots of photos on the app, their communication on collection about her day was highly reassuring. Great nursery highly recommend.

I have been a mother for 23 years for three children with various ages so have used a wide range of nurseries over the years. Nene Valley Day Nursery has been an excellent nursery in all areas and simply the best I have ever used. The staff are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and welcoming. I have several friends who are mothers of children at the nursery and they wholeheartedly agree. From the cook, nursery staff, admin and management they are all fab.
Brilliant nursery. My son joined Nene Valley preschool in August 2021 after moving to Northampton. I am amazed at how friendly the staff at Nene Valley is. He looks forward to coming every day. Love this place!

Nene Valley Day Nursery has been the best place for my daughter, she always looked forward to going to school as she said she loved her teacher and talked about them every day.

I could say so much about the nursery, how they have helped my daughter through her development, especially her speech and language and building her confidence. I cannot say enough to thank you as my daughter moved from barely two words at the age of three to a non-stop audible talker at two months to her fourth Birthday. Lovely and supportive staff. Thank you so much.

I believe this nursery is one of the best in Northampton. My child came to nursery with special education needs and disabilities (SENA). She has all the support and love she needs and she has now transitioned to the normal framework as she no longer meets the criteria of SENA. The staff is amazing. They always have smiling faces and love my child as I do. They are professional and experienced in working with me to settle my child. The playroom is well equipped so she can make her own choice to play. She is extending her learning with a variety of exciting activities and events. My child is happy here all the time.
My little boy has been going for nearly 2 months now and I have noticed his confidence is growing and absolutely enjoys his time at nursery. All the practitioners are so lovely and welcoming and always helpful when you have a query. Highly recommend Nene Valley Day Nursery (Northampton) 10/10.
