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.

This nursery has done wonders for my son. He loves the staff and is always buzzing to tell me what he has been up to. Staff are so approachable and make me, as a parent, feel at ease in any situation involving my child.

Since my daughter has started in the caterpillar room she has become more confident and has started using single and double words, rather than making noises to communicate. She has also been engaged all day in activities (meaningful) to her given next steps. I have enjoyed getting her pictures...
Since my daughter has started in the caterpillar room she has become more confident and has started using single and double words, rather than making noises to communicate. She has also been engaged all day in activities (meaningful) to her given next steps. I have enjoyed getting her pictures through the parent app weekly.

My child has been at the nursery since he was ten months old up until he goes to reception. He has good bonds with all of the staff and will happily go to them when he needs them. He has learnt a lot while being there and I will be sad when he leaves.

The nursery was open and very inclusive wherein kids and keyworkers and staff mingle and are close to each other. My twin girls enjoy their time when they are here. They have been here since they were 9 months old and must say that they were taken care of properly. Teachers and main keyworkers are very caring and loving in which my girls would say 'I like (name of keyworker)'. I like this mobile access for childs care plan as I can easily access my twin daughters needs and development/improvements. Management/managers are very accommodating and emphatic with my situation. I must say they have been a big part of my twin daughters lives from 9 months old to 4 year old. Very grateful for everything. Keyworkers have been here for long time, my kids are familiar of them.
I am really happy with this nursery, they have helped my son come on loads with everything. They understand all his needs and cater through your help.

I have found the entire team at The Co-operative Childcare Newbiggin absolutely brilliant in every element. I cannot recommend the team highly enough. Both my children have developed so fast during the short time they have been at Newbiggin which is entirely down to the exceptional care and effort provided by the team to go above and beyond their duties every time.

I have been using this nursery for now 4 years. With my daughter and now son. The team are fantastic, I have built strong relationships with the staff and the level of service they provide is second to none.

How good this nursery is shown when my son now runs in to see his friends and key worker.
My son’s milestones are logged on the parent zone and also what he has been up too, eating and doing each day. This is invaluable.

My son has a dietary requirement and he is accommodated. This is refreshing to see.I could not ask for a better place for my son to go, as he truly gets involved in all different activities and outdoor play too.
When it comes to potty training and moving my son into underpants it’s a shame this nursery does not provide pull-ups in the weekly costs? Currently, we are providing them.
