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.

My son started Minnows in April, he has come along so well with his confidence and is much more playful in activities as a 2 year old should. My son has mild hearing loss and glue ear and the nursery has a speech therapist weekly which is great as he manages only to have it every three mornings at home. Outside they have a fantastic fort with a slide but it is a shame it has no green grass for the children to run more and let off some energy. The staff are wonderful and always at hand to help of give advice . The cook works hard and makes scrumptious lunches for my son. Thank you to a great nursery managed by a good team leader and a fantastic nursery manager.
Very good, clean nursery, looking after my child well.
