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 and my sons experience is amazing with Tiddlywinks. As the staff are very friendly and helpful, it's like 'home' to my son. He enjoys coming to nursery. He improved himself in so many ways while he was in the nursery. I am so happy that I have made the decision to put my child in this nursery. I am going to put my daughter as well.
My daughter has settled into nursery very well, thanks to the amazing and caring staff at Tiddlywinks. I am always kept up to date with my daughter's days and they are always making sure her days are filled with fun, and she has come along so much in a short time. Thank you to all the staff.

Our child loves this nursery and always comes home very happy. It feels like a second family to us. The staff are caring and supportive, and our child has learned so much since joining. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming - we couldn't be happier!

My child fell over on the way to school. The staff was really good and helped both me and my child calm. They also updated me throughout the day how he was. The staff are very loving and caring to all the children which puts my mind at rest when dropping my child off.
