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 have had a good experience in the group. My daughter has enjoyed her dad being here, showing me what activities she likes and showing me her friends. She's learning more new things every day.

My experience of this nursery is fantastic. I am so glad I started my child here. As a first time mum, I was nervous about putting her in a nursery but could not have asked for anything more. Amazing!

I previously had my eldest at Tiddlywinks as I was so impressed with the staff and the running of the nursery. My youngest currently attends and always has fun and has developed well since attending. Nothing is too much for the staff and I know my son is in great care with the staff.
