About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- 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.

We are very happy with our experience at The Bruce Nursery. From when our son started at 10 months old, the staff have been welcoming, caring and professional, and it is clear that they genuinely care about the children in their care. The warmth they show towards our son gives us real comfort and...
The team have been supportive of any nap routines we have asked them to follow. They have always been accommodating and consistent, which has been invaluable in helping maintain his routine and ensuring a smooth transition between home and nursery.
Most importantly, our child seems to genuinely enjoy attending nursery. He talks fondly about the ladies who look after him and is always excited to tell us about his day. It is obvious from the way he speaks about them that he has formed strong bonds and feels happy, safe and secure in their care.
We've had a fantastic experience with the Bruce Nursery with both of our children. Communication has always been great, the children are really happy there and the staff are all lovely. Transitions from room to room have always been smooth and we feel the children have been well supported...
We've had a fantastic experience with the Bruce Nursery with both of our children. Communication has always been great, the children are really happy there and the staff are all lovely. Transitions from room to room have always been smooth and we feel the children have been well supported throughout. They are thriving and developing at a great pace, and we feel it is providing skills that will be useful throughout their lives. My children eat well there and spend a lot of time outdoors or doing activities through the day. They have both built strong connections, both with their peers and with their key workers, which has made them feel safe and happy there. Overall, we have had a great experience and have recommended to friends.

Our daughter bonded really quickly with the ladies and they are always very excited to see her.
We genuinely have had an amazing experience with the nursery so far and they are always able to help.
Their communication is great, very quick email responses and on the phone. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The app is updated regularly which really helps in the early days.
I have no concerns about my daughter whilst she is there. She is very well looked after, kept very busy, outside every day and eats really well. I also love that the food is made on site.
So happy with our decision to use Bruce.
