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 child is always so excited to go to nursery to see her "best friend" (her carer). The staff are all so friendly and are genuinely interested in having a conversation with me, asking about family, events we have had. She always comes home telling me all about her day, and teaching me what she has learned that day. I leave knowing she is extremely well care for and safe. The staffs training is outstanding and they are always keeping up top date with new changes, keeping the parents informed too.
Overall, we are extremely happy with the nursery.

I would like to appreciate everyone who is working hard to develop my son's communication skills and make him feel confident to play with others. I am very happy in this nursey as I have seen so many differences with my son.
