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 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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.

Our son is coming to the end of his journey at Leyland Meadows. He started at 9 months in August 22 and has loved every single minute of his 4 years there. We are so proud of all that he has achieved and so very grateful for all that the staff have done to encourage, support and care for him every day of his time with them. He has always been happy to go to nursery in a morning (which makes such a huge difference to working parents!) thanks to the brilliant relationships he has built with all the staff and all the wonderful friendships he has built there. The staff truly are an extension to our family and we will miss them and remember them all fondly for many years to come. We wave "hi nursery" every time we drive past and I am sure we will continue to do so! We've been really impressed by all that nursery have offered, excellent communication, well thought out activities, an impressive range of resources and especially drama and activate sessions which he has adored!
Thank you for your glowing review, its a pleasure to read what a wonderful experience your family have had at Thrive Leyland Meadows.
My little boy has come on so much since being at nursery! He absolutely loves going! Jannette is amazing with my little boy he always gives the biggest smile when he sees her, I couldn't recommend them enough.

She has settled far better than we could ever have imagined, and that's all thanks to Kelly and the rest of the wonderful Bumblebee team.
Every single member of staff is so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. The updates we receive throughout the day are so reassuring and help us feel connected. If we ever have any questions or worries, the team always responds straight away and keeps us fully updated.
Two months in, and we don't have a single regret about making the move. Our daughter is thriving - her vocabulary has trebled, and she's learning and picking up so many new things every week.
We're beyond happy with Poplars and so grateful to all the fantastic staff who make it such a special place!
Poplars is a fantastic nursery setting. After moving our daughter from another nursery, we couldn't be happier with poplars and all of the staff. Friendly, warm and welcoming environment. Great facilities, I would recommend to anyone.

We initially viewed poplars for our daughter because my partner came here when he was baby / toddler.
When we realised that some of the team where the same team from when he was a child attending poplars, it immediately made us feel like this nursery stood out against the rest. With a long standing team like this one it shows consistency, reliability and that it is overall a good place to work.This made us feel at ease and something we didn't really see at other nurseries.
My daughter loves it here, and is invested in telling her teachers about her weekends and adventures outside of nursery which again proves an emotional and supportive bond she must feel.
They communicate really well and also I love the outsourced activities they organise for the kids, and they never miss a holiday or important date.
We will be definitely sending out second child here as well.

Our baby started at Poplars at 9 months old and has been there for almost three months now. From the day we had a show round when he was three weeks old to this morning when I dropped him off we have had an exceptional experience with this nursery.
The staff are professional and knowledgeable whilst still being kind, compassionate and caring. Nothing is too much trouble and they are supportive with any nerves or anxiety about leaving your little one. We get regular updates and photos which we love, and our son absolutely loves going. He reaches for his key person in the morning and is developing such a lovely bond with them.
His development has come on in leaps and bounds since he started at Poplars, and the activities he takes part in are structured but varied and engaging.
We cannot recommend this nursery enough, they have made what could have been a stressful and anxious time easy and enjoyable and we are so glad we chose Poplars
My son really enjoys going to populars nursery, the staff are always friendly and ready to help with anything and i find my son gets to do a wide variety of activities throughout the day. The nursery is clean and safe. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

We've had a wonderful experience with Corner House Poplars. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely attentive to each child's individual needs.
One of the aspects we've been most impressed with is how well the staff support children with toileting. They are incredibly patient and encouraging, helping to reinforce routines in a calm and positive way. Whether your child is just beginning potty training or needs a bit more reassurance, the team creates a relaxed, supportive environment. Communication with parents about progress or any accidents is always handled sensitively and professionally.
Poplars also does a great job of fostering early writing and fine motor skills. There are plenty of engaging mark-making activities using chalk, crayons, paint, and even sensory materials like sand and playdough. The staff gently encourage children to hold a pencil and to explore letters and shapes at their own pace. Activities are playful and developmentally appropriate. Best nursery ever!

Your words mean a great deal to our team!
This is truly the best nursery in the area. The manager and the team have always gone above and beyond for my two girls (5) & (1) who attended this nursery from 8 months 7 months respectfully. There's always doubt when sending your little one into nursery for the first time but it really didn't...
What I like most about poplars is the activities that they do, especially in the older groups. Weekly they have classes including drama, football, activate with outside provider to name a few, where external people come in to teach the kids.
There's also plenty of visits to the local park, even for the babies.
Keep up the good work & thank you x

This is the best nursery I've been in I looked around a few and this one stood out from the rest. All the ladies where so welcoming and friendly, and the rooms all felt so clean. They always keep you updated on everything from how your child is getting on threw out the day to what they have work towards that week. Everyone is so approachable and nothing is a problem. My little boy settle so quickly here and is always so excited to see what activities and crafts they will be doing. I like how there is something new every week for the children to learn or get involved in activity wise. My little boy has come on so much since starting here. I'm so glad we choose this place we feel so at ease leaving our little boy here, can't thank them enough for all the effort and hard work they put in. I always recommend the nursery as I feel confident that every parent would love the nursery. Brilliant place can't fault anything such lovely place for your child to go.

I was really anxious about sending my son to nursery when returning to work. The staff in the Bluebirds room went above and beyond to make sure he had consistency to help him settle. They sent daily updates explaining how he was and what he was up to, showing they really understood how hard it can be. For that, I am forever grateful to them and for their continued care. He loves not only his key worker, but the other staff too.
Thank you for your kind review of our nursery, we really appreciate your valuable feedback and are so happy your son is settled and secure.
