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 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 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.

I absolutely love our nursery that we chose for our daughter. It has such a homely family feel to it. I’ve been fully informed of everything that my daughter has done throughout the day at pick up time. As a first time mum I feel so at ease leaving my ten month old here while I go to work. My daughter’s dietary requirements have been met and I know that she loves the food that it provided. Thank you Serendipitys Day Nursery & Pre-School Balderton for welcoming us into your family.
Both of my daughters have attended Serendipity's Day Nursery & Pre School Balderton over the last five years. The care they have received is fantastic and the nursery staff are always very helpful. Facilities, learning and activities are excellent.

In August of last year, I made the difficult decision to place him into the nursery. At the height of the pandemic and as a first-time parent, I had a lot of worries. The staff at Serendipities not only listened to my fears but did everything possible to ensure that the change went as smoothly as...
Thank you all so much!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Paige. We are thrilled to hear you are happy with the service, and we will continue doing our utmost to maintain this level of care.
The staff are very friendly, helpful and are amazing with my 4-year-old son. A wide variety of freshly cooked food and different activities every day. Very clean, excellent communication with staff and family - highly recommended.

Our son has attended the nursery for the past two years and like any parents, we were anxious at first when leaving my son at the nursery. However the family centred approach from all the staff has been excellent from the beginning. The confidence and development of our son has gone from strength to strength and we have the nursery to thank for helping my son on his journey. Outstanding provision.

I also work in a nursery, but not at any point, have I thought of moving my son to my nursery as he is happy. The nursery is small, but that does not stop him from being able to play and learn and be happy. I would recommend Serendipitys to anyone.
I always feel confident when leaving my child at Serendipitys it's small and all staff are friendly and helpful. My child is always happy here and he loves the food.

The communication between parents and staff is also excellent. At first, I was worried about sending my daughter to nursery being so young. However, I was soon at ease. She absolutely loves it and she’s come on loads since she started. Thank you Serendipitys.

Serendipitys have made my son feel so welcome. He's a unique little man that they understand very well. He has special dietary requirements which have never been an issue and handled with vigilance and care. They keep me updated when I am at work which really has helped me go back from maternity leave and accommodated my shifts which I'm so grateful for. My son was recently poorly and they informed me right away. I drove straight over to get him and felt reassured when I arrived as he was having a hug which is a massive comfort for my son. I've given them excellent throughout.
The nursery is undergoing refurbishment. This is being handled well by all the staff. The children all play well together and have been out on visits to the part, fruit tasting and have been baking regularly. My little boy asks to go to nursery, he enjoys the themed activities each week.

As a first time mum, I was very nervous about taking my child to nursery, however, the staff and management made me feel a lot more at ease. The nursery is a small nursery which means my daughter has built relationships with the staff in her room and also staff which don't work in her room regularly. The nursery is a home from home environment which I feel has helped my daughter settle a lot more quickly. The activities the baby room provide are amazing and there is always something different/new for them to do every day. They take the babies out on a walk most days so my daughter is always visiting different parts of the community, library, park, lake to see the ducks. Since starting the nursey back in August 2019 my daughter's development has increased and I really do feel all of the above is a contribution to this.
Excellent nursery that has amazing staff. All pretty great!
