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 9.5 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.

Our son started at this nursery when he was just 9 months old and has recently turned 3, and we honestly couldn't be happier with the care and support he has received throughout his journey.
Over the last two years, we have seen his confidence, communication skills, independence, and social development flourish. The team genuinely care about every child and take the time to build strong relationships with both the children and their families.
We are incredibly grateful to all the staff for the love, patience, and dedication they show every day. They have played such an important role in our son's early years, and we would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive environment for their child.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and your kind words. We're delighted to hear you have been so happy with the care and support we provide and we are grateful for your trust in Kilton Nursery and choosing us to be a part of your early years journey.

My child has been attending Kilton nursery since he was 9 months old. From the day he started the staff have been excellent with our little boy and amazing at reassuring me throughout the day. Especially if I have ever dropped him off and there have been a few tears (which very rarely happens) His development since attending has come on leaps and bounds and that is all down to the activities and learning play he does whilst at the nursery. All the girls have been incredible and made it easy for me to return to work knowing how well he is looked after, and how much he loves to go.
I have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery. I have used them for both of my children 7 years apart and me experience with both has been brilliant. The staff (some the same as the first tie round) are amazing, they have a genuine love for their job which shows, they are always...
I have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery. I have used them for both of my children 7 years apart and me experience with both has been brilliant. The staff (some the same as the first tie round) are amazing, they have a genuine love for their job which shows, they are always welcoming and friendly, my 1 year old cannot wait to go to them waving me off to have the best day playing and learning.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so happy you joined us again at Kilton Childcare.

My son is starting nursery on the 23rd of Jan, he's had 2 settling in days and I already feel at ease after leaving him for 1 hour and 30mins, the girls I have met are really friendly, and the manager is also great, and very patient as I have rang many a time for info and what to do as starting nursery is very nerve-racking and all brand new to me. When I rang for help I heard the girls in the background singing to the babies which is also very nice to hear. I already feel like Kilton Childcare is a very close-knit family-type daycare setting and that's what I love, I hope my son will continue to enjoy his time here and I hope I have a great relationship with all the girls of the daycare. Also, I find the app absolutely brilliant as I can message the girls, and management and get pictures of my son while I'll be working making me feel well reassured.
Thank you for such a wonderful review, we really work hard to build good relationships with the children and their families.

Thank you for such a lovely review, we really appreciate your lovely comments.
Ever since my son started in the baby room in September he has thrived in all skills he needs to develop his learning journey. He has grown physically like fine motor skills and nearly walking and he has grown in communicating what he wants. Such a great nursery and great communication.

Very family friendly Day nursery. The staff are very caring and supportive. They encourage children to do activities on their own and help in improving their skills and development. Every day they welcome the children with a good smile.

I could not be happier with everything about Kilton Childcare. My daughter has been attending this nursery since October 2023 and everyone has been amazing since she started. The staff are so friendly and they offer such a variety of different activities to engage my daughter and the other children and support their exploration and development. The staff members are so caring and compassionate and it is great to see the relationship she has developed with the staff. We have already recommended Kilton Childcare to a friend with a baby, and we will absolutely recommend it further. We couldn't have chosen a better nursery for our daughter.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we are so happy you have joined us here at Kilton Childcare and thank you for your recommendations, it means so much!

The staff are fab, nothing ever too much for them and they make an effort with all the children there. I like the app which keeps me up to date with what my kids are doing throughout the day and what they've had to eat. I know that my kids are always safe and happy when they're at nursery. I will be sending my baby too when she is old enough.
Thank you for the great review, we can't wait to welcome the new arrival to join us here at Kilton Childcare.
Excellent nursery and staff, my daughter always wants to go back to the nursery even when she's at home as she loves it so much. We've never had a problem with anything while my daughter has been going here.

My daughter has been attending Kilton Childcare for 18 months now, all the staff are friendly and if I have any concerns they are there to help and make me feel at ease. I get regular updates from her key person and she has a 'focus week' regularly which allows me to express anything that I want her to work on and staff will also do the same. She has thrived so much over her time there and this has prepared her for going to school in a few months time. She is happy to attend, speaks about all the staff and children and comes back home with stories to tell about her day. Can't recommend Kilton Childcare enough.
Thank you for such a wonderful review, we really work hard to build good relationships with the children and their families.

My little boy started here in April and is thriving! He loves it here and asks daily if he is going. The staff here are wonderful, attentive, informative and nothing is too much trouble. There is regular communication with the staff. The environment is lovely and safe. My little boy has a dairy allergy and they are very careful with him. I am so glad I found such a lovely environment for my little boy to attend.
Thank you for your amazing review, we are so happy you all feel safe and secure with us here at Kilton Childcare.
He's leaving in September which is a shame but he's ready to grow some more in f2.

Thank you for your review, we are honoured to have been part of his early years journey and we know he is ready to start the next chapter in September.
I am so glad that Kilton reopened as it's the only nursery I would use for my kids.

My 2-year-old daughter has been attending since October 2023. It’s the first time either of us had been apart and the ladies at Kilton Childcare made this new transition plain sailing for both me and my daughter! I’m more than happy and confident leaving her here and know she will be more than well looked after. Words can not describe how much I appreciate all the lovely ladies for how much they have helped my little one grow and how much she’s learned in such a short space of time. Thank you all so much.
My child has been attending the setting for ten months now. He loves to go, he runs in every morning and happily chats about other children and staff members at home. He has progressed really well, and we are really happy with his progress.

My name is Kerry, and I am the Early Years Manager here at Kilton Childcare.
I have a real passion for Early Years, and I feel exceptionally lucky to be a part of the children’s lives, supporting them to grow, develop and become resilient, independent and confident learners.
I have over 19 years’ experience working within Early Years. I began working for the Early Years Alliance in 2007, where I started as an Early Years Practitioner. Working my way up whilst gaining valuable experience, I have managed a few of our nurseries as well as becoming a Field Cluster Manager, where I line-managed a group of Alliance nurseries.
Then, deciding to broaden my experiences, I took a leap into the world of Private Day Care where I managed a couple of nurseries, from outdoor nurseries to those in purpose-built environments, before returning to the Early Years Alliance last year.
I love it here at Kilton Childcare; we have a fantastic environment for Children and work with a like-minded team that genuinely has passion and enthusiasm for working with Children.
I love spending my spare time with my family, visiting new places and trying new foods.

My name is Gemma, I am the Early Years Assistant Manager. I have worked for the Early Years Alliance since 2020 where I am also Pre-school room lead and Nursery SENDCo.
I am passionate about being part of children’s early education and creating a setting which feels like home.
I have over 10 years’ experience working with children, part of which I achieved a First Class Honours in Primary Education with QTS – this has provided me with many skills I use in my practice today.
In my spare time I like spending time with my daughter and my family and making memories together.

I have worked with the Early Years Alliance since 2013. During this time I have worked my way up, developing my skills further with each stage of my career. I am now an Early Years Lead Educator, working within the Baby & Toddler rooms and I am also Language Lead for the Nursery.
I love my job because it is so rewarding, seeing the children grow and develop every day, I feel lucky to be part of their learning journey.
I like to spend my spare time with my family and friends, holidaying together and going to the gym.
