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 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 9.5 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 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.

The team worked really hard to help my son settle, showing so much patience and care. He's very happy there now, which is lovely to see. They've also been really understanding and flexible with changes to our funding arrangements, making things much easier for us. I'm very grateful for their support and would happily recommend the nursery.
Couldn't recommend Firestation enough. Clean, professional, welcoming, amazing staff all round from accounts to management and especially the staff in the rooms. Everything has been easy and straight forward from day one. My son really enjoys going to nursery which speaks volumes.

Couldn't be any happier with our choice of sending both our children here. They both absolutely love going to nursery, all the staff are so kind, lovely and caring and genuinely care so much about the children! They're always doing such fun and engaging activities, everything is always super organised! Staff are also super helpful with things such as potty training and weaning as babies etc. I'm also always very impressed at how well they're fed, very nutritional meals. Every drop off and pick up is so well managed and I always leave knowing my babies are in the best care and having so much fun whilst also learning so much. I also love how well the Famly app is used to update us throughout the day, it always includes every detail x

My little girl (12months) has recently started attending the baby room at fire station nursery 3 days a week. We are so pleased with how well she has settled, the drop offs and pick ups are definitely getting easier and I believe this is due to the staff making an effort to make this a seamless process. They always give her time to come around and figure out what's going on before she goes in and leaves us in the mornings. It's clear that they show her comfort and that she now feels she is in a safe space with them. The staff have been so supportive during my daughter's first few weeks and we're really grateful. We also get plenty of updates on the app which we love! The nursery is very spacious and always clean, the children always look happy when you visit the setting.
My little boy absolutely loves coming to this nursery and has settled in so so well! The facilities are amazing and he loves the sensory room, Toy Town and playing in the outdoor area.

We couldn't be happier with our child's nursery. He only moved to the nursery two weeks ago and has settled in so well into Preschool 1, which has been such a relief for us as parents.
The staff are absolutely amazing and have made the transition so easy and reassuring. His key worker is fantastic and sends us photos and updates every day, which we really appreciate as it gives us a lovely insight into his day and lets us see how happy and settled he is.
The nursery itself is exceptionally clean, welcoming and well looked after. We also feel really reassured by how secure the nursery is, with biometric security in place, giving us extra peace of mind knowing that the children are safe and secure.
We genuinely couldn't fault anything. Everyone has been so friendly, caring and supportive, and we already feel very confident that our little one is in the best hands.
We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring and nurturing environment for their child

The staff are nothing short of lovely and we've had such a personal experience despite how clearly hardworking the staff are to support and care for all the children.
We are so impressed with his development and the pace at which he has achieved milestones. We also are really impressed with the food he has, it's always nutritious, well balanced and varied - it's almost always a clean plate so we think our little boy approves too!
The activities also seem to be really varied and fun, as well as educational and age appropriate to encourage key milestone development. Overall it's such a reassuring feeling knowing the level of care and attention our little boy has at the fire station.
Thank you for the lovely review i will be sure to pass this on to everyone.

There's lots of different toys to keep him busy and the crafts that they do are so cute.
It's lovely to see all the pictures of him having lots of fun and it's very reassuring as a parent. Today he didn't even want to come home because he was having a ball! That's how I know it's an amazing nursery.
I would highly recommend the Fire Station to any parent looking for a safe, fun and nurturing nursery to take care of their child.
Thank you for your lovely review i will ensure to pass on the kind comments.

My son has settled in really well, he's exploring his room and always looks so happy on pictures. The staff in baby room are amazing massive thank you to lily who is always so bubbly and happy to answer any of my questions.

Thankyou for the lovely kind words, i will ensure to pass this onto the staff in the Baby Room.

My son has recently started at fire station nursery, he is SEN and non verbal. The nursery are a massive help for my little boy. We have struggled to communicate with him and they have helped him learn how to use a communication board and then & now boards. The staff are so reassuring for both me and my son he's always been shy but since being there he's started to play along side other children which is a massive step for him. He's started to say little words as well. It's such a lovely happy environment he's loves to go in and has great bonds with the staff in the preschool room every single one of them are amazing and are helping with his development I cannot thank them all enough. From a mum that never thought she'd hear her child talk this nursery go above and beyond for the children.
Thank you so much for your kind words i know how anxious you were to send him to nursery, he is settling and doing amazing.
The staff are wonderful and really care for my baby as if he's their own. They are excited to see him, and to tell me all of the things he gets up to in his day.

There are lots of opportunities to get involved with activities at the nursery and some also include parents. It's a lovely nursery and I'm so glad both of my children have been here. I think it says a lot that the same staff from when I first went are still there now.

My daughter has developed so much hitting her milestones and beyond. The nursery team are second to none, they keep you informed with photos, they debrief at collection and genuinely are some of the nicest people you can meet. My daughter genuinely loves nursery and is thriving. The care they give my daughter is like the care you would give family members, nothing is ever too much trouble. The nursery is clean & tidy and the facilities are great- Especially toy town! Not only have they been superb with my daughter but they have helped me out on multiple occasions by being so accommodating with early drop-offs or late pick-ups. I'd highly recommend Fire Station.
Amazing staff in Woddler room, excellent key workers making me feel my child is in the best hands. My daughter loves coming to nursery, the roon provide great activities to keep her occupied and engaged.

My daughter absolutely loves her days at nursery and it is all down to how wonderful the staff are. They are very attentive to my daughters needs and seem to really know her well. She enjoys the daily activities, indoor and outdoor play and even the food! My daughter is beyond her developmental milestones and I must give credit to the nursery staff for helping her to achieve this. Thank you for you continuing hard work and support.
Thank you so much for your lovely, kind words. I will pass this on to the staff. It's great to hear that your daughter loves attending nursery and that she is reaching beyond her developmental milestones.

Our 2nd child that we have currently going through this setting and we wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Both my daughter (who is now at school) and my son is currently in the baby room, both of them have thrived at nursery thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff and manager. The staff in every room are wonderful, they are so caring and warm and the activities they come up with to engage the children are fabulous. Both of my children have felt safe at nursery and have enjoyed every day. My son gets so excited when he sees the staff in the morning, and he usually can't wait to greet them. The nursery is clean and tidy, the artwork on the walls is always well presented and clearly put up with care and pride. Communication between staff and parents/carers is brilliant. Not a single complaint.
Thank you for your lovely words. We are so happy that you and your child are happy with the care and activities we provide. We aim to make sure we provide the best care we can for the children and to make you as parents/cares feel comfortable. We strive to make sure we meet the developmental milestones for all of the children and that they have a fun filled day.
One of the most significant decisions is where to place your child. I'd consider a nursery equally as responsible for a child's development after the age of one, and I am so grateful to the staff at the Fire Station nursery.

One of the most significant decisions is where to place your child. I'd consider a nursery equally as responsible for a child's development after the age of one, and I am so grateful to the staff at the Fire Station nursery.
The staff engagement, facilities, activities, food-everything is excellent. My child always has a smile on his face whenever I peek through the door during collection, and he knows the practitioners by name, saying he loves them all.
From the moment you're sat down with the manager, reviewing the facilities and signing the documents, to the day your child starts (and beyond), you feel so welcomed as a family, and nothing is too much trouble.
The safeguarding in place is thorough, which we recently experienced when my mother-in-law collected our child - the requirements were beyond a minimum expectation, and ensured that only the allowed and notified people are able to enter the building.
I'm so thankful to everyone at the Fire Station nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind words, this does mean a lot to all of our staff team. We are so happy that you are happy with the provision for your child. We strive to do the best we possibly can to help the children develop to their milestones and to make the environment the best it can be for all of the children.
My daughter thoroughly enjoys her days in nursery. She is well socialised and happy in the nursery environment, and her nutritional intake is great. I love the updates via the app during the day as to nappy changes, feeding times and nap times - this is a great feature which reduces my anxiety...
It makes me happy to know that my daughter is happy and well looked after!
