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 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 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.

Our little boy thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery. He always looks to be having fun and the staff keep us well informed of how he is getting on. We feel confident in the standard of care provided and we look forward to hearing about his day.

Communication between staff and parents is always thorough and you can tell that good relationships with parents is one of the nursery's key values.
My daughter absolutely loves nursery and has nurturing relationships with many of the staff. Particularly April, Paige and Katrina. I couldn't recommend this nursery more.
My daughter has just graduated in August. She was an absolute wreck every morning going through the doors and it was soul destroying and so difficult leaving her. The teachers updated me constantly and comforted her at every chance, we have now actually been in floods that she has graduated. She...
My daughter has just graduated in August. She was an absolute wreck every morning going through the doors and it was soul destroying and so difficult leaving her. The teachers updated me constantly and comforted her at every chance, we have now actually been in floods that she has graduated. She has had the best two years and the bonds she has built with her teachers has been unbreakable. I'm confident enough to recommend this nursery and the staff to anyone I know. Thankyou to all they have done for her.

My son was in the nursery in the baby room since 9 months old up to preschool now. He settled very well in the school from the baby room all the way to pre-school. The teachers are understanding, caring, and my little one developed and learned a lot while going to Little Pioneers. He enjoys going to school, playing with friends. He developed great bonds with children and teachers. There is also a good handover during pick-up times and parents are always informed.
