A dedicated chef prepares fresh, nutritious meals, including breakfast, lunch, tea and two healthy snacks.
Caring practitioners build strong relationships with children and families. By getting to know each child as an individual, they create stimulating experiences, celebrate every achievement, and provide encouragement where needed.

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.

My son is 3 and has attended the nursery since he was 13 months old. It was an easy decision to decide on his nursery as my daughter went here and absolutely loved going. The staff are very friendly and inclusive of every child that attends. My son always comes home with lots of stories about what he's been doing during the day. He's learnt how to play and share with other children. He often wakes up asking if it's a nursery day as he enjoys it that much. Would not send him anywhere else.

Our daughter has now been at this nursery for over a year and loves it. She moved up into the toddler room in September and really enjoys it in there. All the staff are friendly and very patient and caring. Being in the nursery setting has been great for her learning and she amazes us every day when she comes home telling us something new, singing a new song or counting. We can't fault The Nursery and would recommend to other families.

We have been using the nursery for the last 5.5 years and we are really happy with the service provided. My eldest son (now at school) loved going to nursery & made some lovely relationships with both staff & the other children. My youngest still attends and has done since he was 8 months. He is now in pre school and he loves going to nursery, he's very independent and always been happy to just go in and me leave him at the door. All the staff are lovely and welcoming and my youngest is learning so much & building some lovely friendships
The early starts and all year round opening has massively helped us over the years & we even utilised the holiday club with our eldest who was more than happen to go back for the holiday clubs.

My 2 year old daughter attends the nursery and has done since she was 12months old. She's happy to be left in a morning and gets excited knowing she is going to see her friends, especially now she has moved up into the toddler room. Each member of staff is lovely, she is eating more variety of foods since being at nursery, sitting with the other children at meal times is helping her loads. She comes home exhausted but full of tales of her day. I feel very happy that she is happy there. I'm glad they are local to our house and that they had space for my daughter.

The nursery is a great environment for my child to learn and grow. We recently moved into the area and this is the preschool we chose for our child. The staff work so incredibly hard and everyone is welcoming and friendly. My daughter settled into the nursery with ease and loves her teachers. The opening hours fit perfectly around work, which is a huge benefit. The range of different areas and activities available for the children is impressive. I especially like the outdoor areas available for the kids to play when the weather is suitable. My daughter particularly likes the role-play corner where she can play in the kitchen or be a hairdresser. The nursery staff take great care of my child. I can send her into nursery in a morning knowing that she will have a fun day, be well fed and have an amazing time learning and playing with her friends. We often talk about her day on our way home from preschool.

My eldest daughter has attended the nursery since October 2021 and has thrived throughout her years. Although now in school she still attends their great holiday club. I love having some consistency and she is excited to go even now she's almost 5! My youngest has attended since May 2024 and walks in without even turning back and has done so for a while. They let me have unlimited settling-in sessions (more for me than her!) which I was very grateful for to get us both used to the change. They both love their key workers and I have built up a great report with the long-standing staff. So glad I chose the nursery, they do anything for the kids and follow even my picky requests. The best thing for us paying parents is there's no hidden costs.

I started working here in September 2026, and I am Level 3 qualified in Early Years. I have always enjoyed working with children, particularly in the early years, as this is such an important stage in their development when their personalities really begin to shine. I love being part of their childhood, helping them grow, learn and develop into confident little individuals. Being able to play a small part in shaping young minds is one of the most rewarding feelings. I like to think of it as watching a flower slowly start to bloom.

My name is Afsana, and I have been working at The Nursery since October 2020. I have studied Childhood Studies at Sheffield Hallam University. Completing my degree in Childhood Studies is what inspired me to pursue a career in childcare. I enjoy working in childcare because I find it rewarding to support children's learning, development, and wellbeing. I am passionate about building positive relationships with children and helping them grow in confidence.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and spending quality time with my family. These interests help me maintain a good balance between my work and personal life.

I have worked at The Nursery since March 2026. I studied Education Studies and Early Years at Nottingham Trent University.
My studies and experience have shown me just how vital the early years of our lives are and how important our primary caregivers and interactions shape us into who we are as adults, and I aspire to always be a positive influence on whoever I meet. I love watching children form their personalities and being part of their journey of growing and supporting them every day. It's a gift to be surrounded by joyous, curious and incredible little minds, sharing in their achievements, and an honour to be trusted by parents and carers to look after them.
