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.

We get regular updates during the day which is really reassuring and they even do parents evenings which is a nice touch. The food is cooked fresh in-house, healthy and they cater for everyone.
Theres also a coffee van on site with homemade cakes (which is a big win!), and they run loads of events that parents can get involved in, which makes it feel really welcoming
It's such a relief knowing our child is happy and well looked after. We'd definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a great place for their little one,

With daily updates and photos we can see him enjoying a variety of activities, building relationships with the other children, and eating like a king!
This was the first and only nursery we visited - we fell in love with it immediately. And we were right to trust our instincts - he's learnt so much in the short time he's been there.
Watching him happily toddle in every morning and thrive in the way he has shows hands down it's one of the best decisions we've made for our son.

The mount nursery is exemplary, the teachers provide regular, detailed feedback about your child. The teachers are conscientious, my daughter's key worker works full time at the nursery and is absolutely fantastic she regularly informs us of the progress of our child. Any concerns we have are always listened to and addressed. The learning and facilities are great. The hygiene levels at the nursery are excellent and the children are always kept clean. My daughter has been attending for the Mount nursery for almost a year now and she loves it there. We look forward to her starting kindergarten in sept 26. I highly recommend the Mount nursery.

There's always a great variety of fun activities going on, and the food menu is excellent with lots of healthy, nutritious options. The staff are all lovely, which makes such a difference and gives us real peace of mind.

Before joining, he lacked confidence holding a pencil and forming shapes or letters. Within a few weeks of being at The Mount, he could confidently hold a pencil and write his name, something that is down to the great teaching and encouragement he received from the wonderful staff.
The Mount is a brilliant setting, they put on a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities keeping the children engaged throughout the day. My son consistently told me with excitement what they'd been doing each day, and he would run in without issue every morning.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Mount Preschool to prospective parents

Thank you for your recommendation and trust in us.
I took my son to nursery/pre-school here as I wanted a controlled environment where I could trust the people looking after him due to medical conditions. The staff were wonderful, taking the time to understand his situation in detail, login any updates or occurrences to ensure they were always up...
In addition to this they were all lovely and really nurturing, my son still has really strong ties to his former teachers even though he has now moved into Kindergarten (which is also great).
The class itself is really nice and clean, the grounds are also very nice with outdoor activities/play being an integral part of the children's experience. Overall the nursery was a great place for my son and I will be taking my other son there by the end of summer!

Sept 2024-25. We moved our son from a local nursery to the Mount because of its incredibly warm and welcoming environment. Here, the nurturing and supportive staff helped our shy 3 year old thrive, grow in confidence and build lovely friendships.
