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.

They have so much to do and plenty to play with, my little boy has so much more confidence since starting here, his speech, counting and ability to express feelings has improved so much. Would highly recommend this nursery setting to anyone.
Great nursery, both my children have attended this nursery, both absolutely loved it and never had any issues. The staff and excellent and accommodating. The communication between staff and parents is excellent and any queries are resolved quickly.

My son has been attending Early Birds Nursery since January 2025 and he loves it, he is very eager to go. All the ladies that work there are lovely and very friendly, the admin lady is lovely too and has been very helpful with any queries I have had. The setting is a very caring one and has a good range of pre school toys and they have a good structure to children learning. My son has developed so much since joining this nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
The nursery has been very helpful with behaviour techniques while going through the adhd referral. Very good with communication and feel like they have helped bring him along with speech. The staff are nice and friendly.

My son has Autism and I was anxious about putting him in wraparound care. He was allowed to attend settling-in sessions and I was happy the staff understood the nature of his needs. He settled after a rocky couple of weeks. The staff themselves were great with my son and provided clear feedback about his day at collection. Almost 8 months after his time there, an incident occurred (clearly linked with his disability). The Directors, who do not actually work with my son and are based on a different site, decided to terminate the contract with just 2 weeks' notice. This was despite the fact that I had met with the manager to agree on some changes which would prevent the same issue from happening again. There was no attempt to allow reasonable adjustments I had agreed to take effect or to speak to me directly. They have since ignored my emails requesting a meeting line with their own complaints policy. Great staff at the actual site but awful behaviour from the Directors.

My daughter has been cared for by Earlybirds Nursery since the age of 2. From the first initial visit, I was extremely impressed with not only the staff at the nursery but the content of the activities provided whilst she was being cared for. As my daughter has aged, her care naturally decreased due to being in full-time school but Earlybirds accommodated pick-ups from school accordingly. I have been extremely impressed with the childcare my daughter has received and would recommend Earlybirds to anyone.
All of my 3 children have attended Earlybirds over the last 15 years, and to put in a rating of excellent certainly does not justify how exceptional and amazing they really are because I really cannot praise all the staff enough for the time and care they have given to my boys during their time...
All of my 3 children have attended Earlybirds over the last 15 years, and to put in a rating of excellent certainly does not justify how exceptional and amazing they really are because I really cannot praise all the staff enough for the time and care they have given to my boys during their time there. They are by far the best childcare provider around, my boys and myself will miss you all massively thanks again for your support.
My daughter loves her time at Earlybirds and is supported in her learning at all times. She is well looked after and the staff are excellent. Earlybirds have been supportive in following both my term-time work and my husband's shift patterns. I would definitely recommend them.

I am really satisfied with learning care. Staff, management is always helpful. I feel my child is there safe and happy.

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 loves coming here and after bad experiences, at 2 other settings, I didn't expect him to settle in like he did. He loves coming and asks to go there. Feels like family.

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...
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.
Overall, fantastic nursery and wouldn't want my boy to go anywhere else.

My child enjoys the messy activities that are provided for her and the sensory toys. The staff are friendly and happy. My child has been provided with different foods and is always exploring new foods.

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.
