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.

Such a lovely nursery. The girls in the toddler room were amazing with my little boy. They are a fantastic bunch of ladies and he will certainly miss them.

I also love the fact that the nursery is organised chaos with toys everywhere, this is because the staff are spending time with the children, playing and doing activities. Not tidying up.

Since my child started to attend this nursery. She has flourished and grown up beyond her age so much. To me, this just shows the effort the workers put in with our children. My child is always so happy, well fed and continually coming home telling and showing us new things she has learnt. The hours and days fit perfect and easily changeable when needed. So happy my child has become the little human she is now since the very first day entering this nursery!

Earlybirds is a fantastic daycare used by both my daughters aged 8 and 4. Both girls absolutely love coming to the nursery during the school holidays to see their friends and carers, who they have an amazing bond with. Would highly recommend to anyone.

My son has attended EarlyBirds a few months now after moving to the area. He has settled well and the staff have been very helpful in making this transition as easy as possible for us. The staff are friendly and helplful and the environment is always welcoming and set up ready for the children to learn and play. The setting has brilliant resources such as a large ICT interactive board, tough trays filled with stimulating sensory objects, large wooden construction blocks, and sand and water trays (some of his favourite activities) along with many more areas. They also plan lovely trips out with the children. The setting has early and late shifts which work brilliant for working families and was extremely handy for us due to shift work. Since my son has been attending, at home his independence has rocketed, wanting to get himself dressed and preparing his own snack, through skills he has learnt at Earlybirds. He is always happy with the meals provided.
Highly recommend. Preschool review.

My son loves coming to nursery, he attends school now but comes to Earlybirds during the school holidays. He loved being taken on the trips out and about in the local community. It's nice to know he still gets to have fun in the school holidays even though mum and dad have to work.

I have two children who attend and both love attending. The staff are all friendly, helpful, kind and supportive, both to the children and to parents when the youngsters are having a bad day. All staff appear to know my kid's names - even those who are not in their specific areas. I am amazed by how much both my children have progressed since Easter - from tears and hugs to running into their rooms ready to play. The space in each room is great with a wide variety of toys and activities. Each child is treated as an individual and assisted to develop their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Highly recommended.

As a parent I feel my child is safe and settled here, he attends for two full days a week and always comes home with a smile on his face. I feel Earlybirds share the same morals and views on how a child should be raised as I do and they are a strong team who strive on encouraging children to be the best they possibly can. My son has developed beautifully since attending here especially in his speech and he has some special bonds with certain staff and other children who attend. It puts my mind at rest when I go to work that my child is in safe and positive surroundings.

My second child is now using the nursery after my 8 year old attended from 6 months. The staff are extremely warm, caring and welcoming even at the end of the day. The standard of care given by the staff has always been excellent and the range of activities they carry out in the baby room superb. The feedback on the day's activities is always comprehensive and demonstrates the care and attention they provide to the children. My child loves to attend every day which is probably the best recommendation there is. I have never had cause for complaint or concern and can recommend them highly enough.

I started my son here in September 2014 when he was just 1 years old. The staff were very welcoming and my son settled in very well,he did 2 mornings a week. In January 2016 my son started mainstream nursery at my local school but I still wanted him to come here so he has been getting picked up from school every Friday and going for dinner and play time. In recent weeks I decided to up his hours as he loves it so much so now he stays for longer. The staff are very accommodating and friendly and I can have a laugh with them all and they adore my son and he loves them too. Lots of space and activities to do to keep any age range occupied. They have lovely meals cooked for them and are very good at keeping up to date with the profiles and achievements of my son. The new management are brilliant too, very easy to speak to and I always feel relaxed when going into the nursery and as I say my son is always giddy to go and always has a smile on his face when I pick him up,that speaks volumes.
