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.

My little girl has been attending Kilton for almost two years and the staff have become more like family than carers. They make sure my child is looked after and folders are up to date giving me feedback, I have regular contact and will be sending my other daughter once I return to work. I completely trust them to give the best care for my children and I can relax knowing she is happy to attend, my little one speaks highly of the staff herself and I have dealt with all of them instead of just one of two getting to meet the team.
Thank you, we really appreciate the lovely feedback.
My daughter has loved her time at this child care facility. I felt very confident leaving her with the staff, she was really happy to go into nursery. The staff are amazing and I’m sure my child will miss them greatly as she moves onto her school nursery.

Kilton Childcare is a wonderful setting which has cared for both of my sons since October 2018. My youngest was full time until recently and it was clear his key workers knew him well. The nursery staff constantly change the setting and activities available to suit the interests of the children and my boys have done so well under their care. They provide a safe, stimulating and exciting environment both in and outside and will help your child achieve above and beyond their potential. I could not be happier to have had the team support my boys through their early years.
I love Kilton Childcare, all the staff are really friendly and helpful, both my sons have been and both really love it! They have lots of fun activities and always making new play scenes for the children. It's lovely, clean and lots of fun for the children, would highly recommend.

Very lovely staff who are caring. My daughter comes home with things she has made with the staff, they do reviews and also send you photos and updates which I find fantastic as it really puts your mind at rest.

Since sending my son to nursery he has learned and developed in huge amounts. Staff are very friendly and approachable and my son has made an excellent bond with them. Staff reassure me my son has an enjoyable time at nursery by sending images and frequent messages on the 'family' app.

The staff are always helpful, friendly, always available to speak. They look after the children extremely well and are all caring.
The room is clean and always set with a variety of activities to enrich the children’s learning. They have a very good routine.
My son has just left to go to school but my 2-year-old daughter has just started. I have no concerns what so ever and I am at ease to leave my children there and they love going and can tell me what they have been doing. They also have an app to enable communication at all times and for you to see what your children have been doing, what they have eaten and any nappy changes etc. It really an all-round fantastic setting and an amazing team and I would highly recommend it!
Overall, the setting is very positive for children. My child is young and needs lots of support overcoming separation. A national government-led initiative at Longfellow has done just this. Giving me the confidence to know she is well looked after when she's with them. She is learning so very much...

Fantastic nursery, since my son has been attending here his social skills have improved massively. He loves going daily and the staff treat him as one of their own. Wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

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.
