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.

My son gets a bit upset when I have to leave him, but the staff members always know how to handle the situation and he always comes home saying that he has had an amazing time.

Superb staff, couldn't ask for better. Very caring and attentive. Would definately recommend to any friends or family in the area to take their children here. The difference from before he started there is night and day.

I have only positive things to say about Serendipitys Newark. The management are very approachable and nothing ever seems like too much trouble. All the staff in the rooms are equally approachable and fantastic. One member of staff in-particular has to get a special mention for my child, he absolutely adores her, even when he's giving her the cold shoulder for cuddling someone else lol.
All staff have been incredible with my daughter. They made settling in easy and she has now come on leaps and bounds due to the care, effort and support that all staff have offered whilst being at the nursery.

All staff have been incredible with my daughter. They made settling in easy and she has now come on leaps and bounds due to the care, effort and support that all staff have offered whilst being at the nursery. I can not fault them, they are always accommodating if changes are needed to nursery days and have been understanding. Again an absolutely brilliant nursery that offers plenty of opportunity for personal growth and development and I'm pleased to have sent my daughter here.
I would highly recommend Serendipitys Newark to all family and friends for their children.

Fantastic support, friendly helpful staff always happy to help parents and children. Nice warm welcome on every arrival. My child really feels comfortable here and would highly recommend. Never any problems and my little one is so settled, be sad to see my little one leave when she starts school in September.
This nursery is amazing and I can't thank the staff enough for helping my little boy. The management team are very proactive and nothing is too much trouble. We will be sad to leave nursery in August but I know he has had the best start at Serendiputys ready for his next adventure at school.

Staff always give a thorough handover and update us on our child's progress with speech and social skills making it personal and family centred.

I highly recommend this nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing and so friendly. They always try to accommodate childcare if you need to change it. My little boy absolutely loves nursery and is always excited to go. He has learnt so much since being there. They also keep parents informed about their progress and always tell you about your child’s day. All staff make an effort to know your child and their needs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I can’t thank them enough for all the help they have given me and my family.

My child has attended nursery from eight months of age and is now nearly four years old. We could not have wished for a better nursery for him to go to! Nothing is too much trouble and the love and care the staff provide the children is comforting as a first-time parent. His transitions from the baby room to toddlers and then to preschool have all been smooth and well planned. We cannot thank the lovely staff enough.
Educational and fun activities on a daily basis that children love.

It's a hard thing to leave your child in someone else's care but when they smile at the sight of their carers and you see the pictures of them in their activities etc you can leave knowing they're in safe hands and getting a lot of positive out of the nursery experience.
All-round excellent nursery, highly recommended.
The staff are friendly and beloved by the children. Their policies are flexible in terms of attendance, which was a blessing when returning to shift work after having my eldest child.

I often recommend this nursery to other parents, it's been really wonderful for our family.
My son was really upset when first started attending over the past few weeks the ladies have really settled him in and he’s started to enjoy going now and I feel confident leaving him. Highly recommend.

My Son has been going to Serendipitys at Newark for a year now and he loves it. Leaving your little ones to go back to work or for other reasons can be an anxious time however everyone here makes it so much easier to deal with. All the staff are amazing and are so friendly and kind. Any changes we have had to make to hours and days have been accommodated which has been really helpful for us. The meals are varied and nutritious and its good to know our son is getting everything he needs. He has developed so much in the last year and a lot of that is thanks to these lovely people x

They are great at keeping you informed on any issues, always have a smile and a door always open approach which wasn't always the case when my eldest used to go to another nursery.
Most importantly, my son is happy, if he's happy then so am I. I have and will continue to recommend them.

Flexible in meeting my childcare needs.
