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 has been at Tiddlywinks since August 2013. My son has come on amazingly, the staff are a pleasure and have looked after him really well. They are always lovely, polite and caring towards my son. With lots of different approaches, they have offered lots of help with my son out school too -...
I will be really sad when he leaves to go to school.
The staff at the nursery are very welcoming and treat children in a professional and lovely manner. I feel confident leaving my children (2) with the nursery because I know they will be looked after just like they are at home, of course, while learning new stuff.

Both my children have attended here and I would highly recommend this nursery. I felt they were safe and secure and they both really enjoyed the experience. I had a good relationship with all the staff and I was well informed of my children's development, what they had eaten and nappy changes.

I genuinely cannot praise Tiddlywinks Nursery and their staff highly enough. The attention to detail with each and every child, parent etc is phenomenal. My son has really progressed and is such a confident little boy. He's so happy here and I find literally every single member of staff so helpful...

Tiddlywinks is a wonderful place. There's nothing greater than leaving your child in the knowledge that they are in brilliant hands and that they will have great fun and learn loads. All the staff are very attentive and friendly.

Overall excellent nursery. Very happy with the way my child is cared for on a daily basis. I have a good relationship with all staff within my daughter's room, especially her key worker.
