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.

Serendipity's are a great nursery, both my children have attended and they have been supported and cared for so highly. Both have developed during their time and built strong relationships with other children and staff.

I have been very impressed with my daughters experience st Serendipity's Cotgrave over the last few years. They provide an excellent range of activities as well as helping her to develop in many ways. She has developed a very special bond with a number of teachers/staff over the years who have helped her to grow and come out of her shell. It is also very reassuring for me to go to work knowing I have left her on safe hands.
Everyone here is very helpful and friendly. My grandson loves coning and the staff are teaching him all sorts of life skills and helping him with his reading and counting etc. Everyone is also very helpful if there is a problem picking him up e.g Clifton Bridge! Nothing ever seems to be a problem...

I can't think of any other nursery that would look after my little girl as well as Serendipity's Cotgrave. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. Absolutely excellent service.

My daughter first attended preschool at Serendipitys in 2015 and she had such a lovely time that when my son was born I knew which nursery I would use. My son started at one-year-old in the baby room and is now in preschool. He has grown and developed so much, his independence and desire to do everything himself is wonderful to see. The nursery is like a home from home and the staff are like an extension of our family.
Extremely good nursery and staff that go above and beyond. Always make sure that my child is looked after and having fun. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Both my daughters have attended Serendipity's Cotgrave and I cannot rate them highly enough. The staff are efficient, friendly and very attentive to the children. They run a full range of activities for the children - ensuring a varied and fun day is had. I never feel guilty about leaving them, as I know they are being well looked after. The facilities are very good with a large outdoor area which is utilised as much as possible and all the rooms are well decorated and clean. As a nursery it is very well organised and communication is excellent - I cannot fault it at all.
Very pleased with all the staff and work they do.

My son started there when he was 2 years old and went straight into the toddler's room. It's taken him some time to get settled in but all the staff there are amazing with him as he has extra needs and they needed the training to be able to look after him. They are always communicating with me on how he is when I collect him. He has recently just moved up to the pre-school room and the transition was seamless even with the extra training needed. I can’t praise this nursery enough as my son has really become his own little character again since settling in and the care they give is outstanding.
