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 loves coming to nursery every day. The staff are all very welcoming, loving and kind. They go above and beyond to give the very best care and education. Their partnerships with parents are excellent; they keep me regularly updated on daily matters as well as my son's learning and development. My son has developed amazingly since attending this nursery, his speech and language have improved profoundly. The management is excellent and is always involved with the children too. This is a fantastic nursery and I'm so glad my son attends here.

My eleven-month-old son has been going to Tiddlywinks for two months and he has settled in very well. He now goes in three full days a week from half days. I can see he really enjoys it. He wants to go and play and the other children shout out his name to play with them when they see him. He is well looked after by the staff and his friends. He has become more confident, trying to talk and walk, thanks to the staff. They treat the children like their very own. It's a very loving and caring environment.
Friendly, helpful staff. My daughter likes nursery a lot.

My daughter came to Tiddlywinks back in 2011 and had the best time so there was no doubt where I wanted to send my son. He loves it here and we feel very happy with everything.

Extremely happy with the care my child receives. He loves coming to the nursery and has formed close bonds with the staff here. Everything is organised and clean and I love seeing the observations and experiences he has each day on the parents' app.
