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 48 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 48 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 23.8 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.

I can't speak highly enough of the team at Stone Eden. We have watched our son come on leaps and bounds with every aspect of his life and development.
The staff are fantastic, punctual and always polite and welcoming, which is massive when you take in to account you are trusting them with your child. I can't speak highly enough of every member staff I have encountered.
The premises itself are always clean with plenty of parking. The children are always outside when the weather is nice, and my son has great fun being taken to the nearby farm to see the animals.
It is a 5 star nursery ***** with 5 star staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND from a very happy and grateful parent!

Our 2 year old daughter started attending Stone Eden in April and genuinely enjoys going. We have found the team to be very approachable and accommodating and the genuine care for the children as individuals has been clear to see. We have seen our daughter come on so much in her short time there, her speech and independence at meal times we credit to nursery. The focus on outdoor play and the supporting outdoor facilities were a big draw for us in choosing Stone Eden. Another positive for us is the food, fresh balance meals and snacks which my toddler seems to actually eat! Would highly recommend.

My daughter has been attending Stone Eden for a few months now, and she has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery. She is always so happy to go in each morning, greeting the girls with a big smile on her face.
The staff always make sure that every achievement, no matter how big or small, is celebrated, and they are incredibly encouraging and supportive of the children. It's lovely to see how much my daughter has grown in confidence and developed since starting, and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives.

My oldest daughter has been at Stone Eden since October last year. The nursery is fantastic, the staff are lovely and friendly and create fun activities for the children each day. My youngest daughter started in March this year and the staff have been brilliant at getting her to settled in. The outside space at the nursery is great with the soft surface and the orchard. My girls also love walking down towards the farm to see the cows and machinery. The food at the nursery is great, they get a great variety!
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a lovely review!

The nursery has a lovely community feel to it and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Communication is great from nursery in relation to any info you need. They are also very flexible which helps if you work shift patterns.
There's nothing negative at all I can say about Stone Eden, it's the perfect nursery!

My daughter has been at Stone Eden since July 2025, and the experience has been excellent from the outset. The entire team has played a key role in giving her a fantastic introduction to nursery life. Every member of staff is caring, attentive and clearly passionate about what they do, which provides great reassurance as a parent. She genuinely looks forward to her 2 days each week and is always excited to go.
The facilities are also a real strength. Having direct access to an outdoor area from her room, along with a dedicated play space and even a nearby farm within walking distance, means she benefits from plenty of time outdoors.
Mealtimes have also exceeded expectations. This was a major factor for us when we first visited, and it has certainly lived up to that promise. Fresh, well prepared meals made on site each day using locally sourced ingredients.
I'm very grateful for the care and support they've provided, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.

My nearly 2 year old has been at Stone Eden for coming up 9 months and he loves it. All of the team in Cherries ensured he was given the time to settle in and he gets the care and attention that he needs when he attends. All of the staff and apprentices take the time to get to know him and he feels comfortable to be himself around everyone. The nursery is bright, inviting and really spacious with lots of outside play space too. Highly recommend

The nursery was a great place for my son and he thrived. Now my daughter is there and nothing is to much for Aimee and the rest of her class. They have wonderful patience and are so so lovable and enduring. My daughter was is a rough and ready Tom boy but still has princess qualities and they also make her smile and thats something you can't be grateful enough about. The management team is professional and communication is second nature to them. They have the same values we as a family hold dear.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review!

It's important to me that our child has a structured approach at nursery and following the early years curriculum Stone Eden achieve this. I can see my daughter developing and she is excited by all the activities that they do on a daily basis.
The food provided is excellent and the meal plan is varied which is important to develop their tastes.
The nursery itself is full of laughter and the staff have a can do attitude so I'm confident it's a good place for my daughter to be.
From a business perspective there is a clear investment plan and facilities are continually evolving with maintenance a priority (replacement outdoor all weather play area recently).
The area is extremely clean and excellent value for money now the government are contributing towards nursery costs.
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a thoughtful review, It's really appreciated!
Cannot express how happy we are with the care our daughter gets at Stone Eden! She clearly loves it and is getting on so well with her milestones. Lovely outdoor spaces. Amazing food made on site, and always extras for the big appetites.

I can't stress how good Stone Eden has been for our son. Ever since he started he's grown massively, from him crawling to walking to his speech, counting and general knowledge! They're incredibly caring and professional and I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to get their child in...
Special mention to Dave the chef making fresh healthy meals everyday.
Thank you for this amazing review, I will also pass this on to Dave, we are very lucky to have him making our meals each day!
Brilliant Nursery and staff. So patient when it comes to new babies starting and offering settling in time. Also excellent with older children, offering a range of activities throughout the day. Kept well up to date with the app also. Would highly recommend

From the very first day, the team welcomed us with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for early years care. The environment is not only safe and clean, but truly inspiring - full of colour, creativity, and curiosity. My children settled in quicker than I ever expected, which is a testament to the love, patience, and consistency of the staff.
What truly sets this nursery apart is the way they care. It's not just about ticking boxes - the staff really know each child. They celebrate their strengths, nurture their personalities (even my little character) and support them. As a parent, that personal attention means everything.
In short, Stone Eden has created a magical foundation for my children's early years. I can't recommend them highly enough!

All the team care deeply for the children in their care & they know each and every child. They always have time to chat at the end of the day to fill us in, making us (and our son) feel valued and seen. My son always enjoys going knowing he has a fun-filled day ahead, evident by the huge smile on his face at the start and end of his day!
Even though he has only attended for 1 month, my husband & I couldn't be happier with the service provided.
Very accommodating, welcoming nursery. Great staff and good communication. Our young son loves he's days there. Very flexible day-care options. Good location. Good uploads regards child's day. Good staff structure.

The staff are so friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to help with any advice or concerns with my child and I feel completely at ease leaving them there all day. This is my first child and parenting is new to me and I have found the staff in each room so far so reassuring and kind.
The outside space is perfect for the children and they spend so much of their day outside which I think is really important and my child loves.
The meals are home cooked and fresh daily and always a mix of variety. Over all, just a great nursery and I'm really happy I chose to bring my child here.

My child has been attending for a year now and I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little loves all the staff, they provide constant development opportunities through play and learning. They are amazing at keeping us up to date with what is going on. We work shifts which sometimes change last minute and they are always as flexible as possible with us whilst keeping us informed and keeping their numbers at a safe capacity.
Thank you so much for submitting this lovely review for us!
