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.

The staff, go above and beyond and really get to know their kids, it made me feel so much more comfortable when the time came for my son to start nursery.
My son is always well fed and looked after.
Really can't recommend the nursery enough to anyone looking for somewhere for their little people.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad you have had such as positive experience with our team.

All 3 of my children have / are attending this lovely nursery and they love it! I have twin girls that are still attending Earlybirds's and I love how they treat them as individuals rather than a pair (giving them different key workers / progress review meetings etc) because they are the total opposites of each other. My kids have learnt so much whilst being here and their confidence has grown so much. It's a really family friendly environment and they really do get to know all the children's personalities, wants & needs aswell as the parents & grandparents! The ladies are absolutely amazing and go above & beyond for anything they possibly can. Thank you!

All 3 of my children have attended early birds daycare and all 3 had a fantastic experience. The ladies who work there are friendly and genuinely care and take an interest in the children. My youngest attends 3 days a week now and there are still staff who remember my eldest child. The fact the staff turnover is low is another testament to how amazing the nursery is.

Both my daughters have gone to this nursery since they were 9 months old, my oldest is now in school and my youngest has just gone into the pre school room. All the staff are so friendly and always approachable if you have any queries. They always get to know the children and what they like, and go out of their way to ensure the children are happy whilst in their care. Both my children created strong bonds with the staff which shows how well they are treated when I leave. Would recommend this nursery to everyone.
Thank you so much for this amazing review and your recommendation.

When she approached her end in the toddler room, we came to find she had reactive Airways which required new medications and extra monitoring daily. The staff didn't even bat an eyelid and made sure to keep me and dad updated at any point her medication was used.
As she approaches her final year at early birds we're so excited to enrol her new baby sister/ brother when they're born as I know they'll all take amazing care of our new little one
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad you have had such as positive experience with our team. We look forward to welcoming your little one!

I honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough. As a parent, leaving your child in someone else's care can come with so many worries and emotions, but from the very beginning, the staff have made us feel reassured and supported. Knowing that our daughter is happy, loved and cared for means...
I'd like to give a very special mention to Kizzey and Helen, who looked after our daughter when she was in the baby room. They built such a lovely bond with her, and it means so much to us that even though she has now moved on from the baby room, they still regularly check on her, ask how she is and make sure I'm reassured. Also the manager Claire, nothing is too much trouble. You can tell that she genuinely cares about the children and their families, and that means so much to us.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It means so much to us to hear how happy and reassured you feel, and were so pleased your daughter has built such lovely bonds with the team. Well be sure to share your kind words with Kizzey, Helen and Claire!

All the staff care know the kids inside and out even if they don't always work in their rooms, manager Claire goes above and beyond knowing each child which gives the nursery a real family feel.
Both children love going and have strong bonds with the staff. Handovers at pick up are always detailed and never feel rushed out.
Staff always listen to our wants and needs, eg nap times, dummy, potty training etc.
The building and rooms are a little dated however I'd much rather send my kids here than a big chain with a large number of children and feel far less family oriented.
My little boy can be a fussy eater but always finishes dinners here & a lot of the time getting 2nds, real hearty meals!
Since my little boy went into toddlers he's come on so much as they do themed weeks learning different topics. Highly recommend!
Brilliant nursery my child has come on leaps and bounds since being at early birds couldn't of asked for a better nursery, all the staff are lovely and very friendly. My child loves going to nursery and looks forward to playing with her friends.

My son attends early birds nursery and he's currently in baby room he has been going there since been 10 months old and I can say he absolutely loves it never looks back when I'm leaving, and just runs to girls and they always happy to see him just as he is to see them. Girls in baby room are absolutely amazing and supportive with my son. They have an amazing bond with my son which is very Important to me I love seeing how caring and loving they are with him and how he is with them back. He's always well looked after and supported with any milestones that he's hitting or needs any help with. Nursery has also supported me and my partner with the hours that we need for our son and the days and been flexible with us which were grateful for. Overoll place is amazing and highly recommended it for any family that needs childcare.

Updates at the end of each setting are clear and thorough and it's great to get periodic photographic updates through the week via the app. The main thing for me has always been that my kids are safe, well fed, healthy and happy and Earlybirds delivers this and so much more.

My son has been with early birds since 2022. They have been nothing but accommodating professional and overall have given him the best nursery experience I could've wished for before he journeys into mainstream school. Early birds is welcoming, the staff are amazing and being a shift worker for the emergency services they have always gone above and beyond to provide assistance when needed. I couldn't recommend early birds enough to anyone looking to place a child into nursery. He always comes home full of joy and can't wait to tell me about the day he's had.

My little one absolutely loves school (as she calls it), has made lots of friends and is very fond of the staff. We have always found the staff to be approachable, helpful and committed to needs. She loves the food choices and often comes home singing the songs and telling us stories of who she has played with that day and what they have done. She also loves bringing the arts and crafts she makes at school home to show us. They go in her memory box. The 7am early start is extremely helpful and has been a great assistance to us as we start work early.The tapestry updates are great but I would like to see more often updates. This is absolutely not a criticism, just my own personal preference. I understand that wraparound isn't available for school nursery however I would just like to confirm that we would use this service if it was available. Again, no criticism intended. Thank you so much for giving my little one a lovely, warm and thriving start to her education journey.

We have used Earlybirds for around 2 years. My child is always well cared for and a clear handover given at the end of the day. The staff are lovely. They clearly all care for children and that shows. My child is happy and thriving - thank you! My only improvement would be more use of online updates from their nominated service - the app - as updates are rarely added to this. If this was utilised more, events would not he missed, such as pyjama day for children in need. A number of children were upset at drop off that they didn't have theirs on like others.
