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 staff are amazing. I have two very shy girls and the staff did a great job to ensure my daughter's settled in. They are always helpful and always go out of their way to ensure your queries are answered.

My daughter only started at the nursery this month, but the staff have been nothing but kind and supportive. It was arranged for us to have 2 settling in sessions and then a third when she didn't fully settle in the 2. The management staff have also been brilliant in organising a set monthly payment over the next 4 months to allow for easier accounting for us. All the staff have always been very welcoming and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble.
Very pleased with the care my daughter gets at the nursery. Both my girls have been to Windmere and got on really well and developed very well. My daughter has built up such a good relationship with two nursery assistants these two ladies are very good at their job and caring towards her.

What is your favourite feature of Windermere?My favourite feature is the large and spacious garden which is quiet and calming with lots of areas for the children to explore. The nursery rooms are not only separated for the age groups but also have separate rooms within those areas, allowing lots of free flow for the children to aid us in creating fantastic, engaging, enabling environments.
I am most proud of the long-standing experienced team, that works together supporting each other and sharing ideas and knowledge of the children we care for to make sure each child experiences the best day every day. There is a good team spirit on the whole and a “want to achieve attitude”.
