About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
Working parents of 2 to 3 year olds can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week, and some families on qualifying benefits can claim 15 hours regardless of working status. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery applies funded hours during term time only. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 6 funded hours per day, used only during term time. With your selected funding, 18 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.

Both of my children have attended Little Wiggles and my youngest is still there! It is a fantastic, open plan, engaging environment which offers the children plenty of opportunities.
The staff are friendly and approachable and are never too busy to talk or let you know what your child has been up to during the day.
Having two very different children, I have been very pleased with the way the children are treated as individuals and individual targets and aims are set for the month/term.
From the first time I looked around Little Wiggles, I have loved the people, the ethos and the environment!
