At Pitter Patters Day Nursery, the team maintains the belief that every child deserves the very best start in life. For over 25 years, the nursery has provided high-quality childcare in a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where children feel safe, secure, valued, and confident as they explore the world around them.
The nursery’s curriculum is built around each individual child, recognising that every child is unique and develops at their own pace. The nursery places great importance on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families, creating a home-from-home environment where children feel a true sense of belonging.
The nursery maintains the belief that children learn best through play, exploration, curiosity, and meaningful experiences. The approach embraces child-led learning, in-the-moment planning, and the characteristics of effective learning, allowing experienced practitioners to recognise children's interests, respond to their ideas, and build on their natural desire to learn. The learning process is valued as much as the result, giving children the time, space, and encouragement they need to investigate, discover, problem-solve, and develop independence.
Wellbeing is central to the nursery’s practice. The team recognises the importance of children feeling happy, confident, and emotionally secure, creating an environment where every child feels heard, included, and celebrated for their individuality.
The nursery’s extensive outdoor spaces provide exciting opportunities for children to connect with nature, develop physical skills, and discover the world around them. Through Forest School and Beach School experiences, children are encouraged to take appropriate risks, develop resilience, work collaboratively, and develop a lifelong appreciation of the natural environment.

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 Pitter Patter for the last 3 1/2 years and has absolutely loved each of the rooms he's been in. The staff are wonderful and provide a very personalised service, taking into account any special requirements and extending learning (Big Toddlers and Pre-school) as and when appropriate. The staff in each room seem to know the names of every child at the nursery which I think is testament to the amount of care and effort that is put into ensuring each child is cared for in the best possible way. The nursery were brilliant at helping wean my oldest son and I'm happy that my youngest (starting in a few week's time) will be given the same care and attention and receive the best, freshly prepared food from their kitchen. The nursery is constantly improving and the parents are kept well informed regarding new developments. There are gardens for each age group and there are lots of fun outdoor activities for the children, including an outdoor classroom and bug garden. Safety is taken very seriously including access to the facility and safety of the children on local outings. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my children to learn and grow.
