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 10 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 experience with this nursery has been wonderful. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and very reassuring, especially during the settling-in process. My daughter started just before turning two and had never spent time away from me before, so she struggled with separation anxiety at first. It took a little time for her to settle, but once she did the change was amazing-she started talking more and now looks forward to going in every morning. One of the things I appreciate most is the consistency of the team, with many long-standing staff who build great relationships with the children. They make great use of the space by rotating rooms and spending time outdoors in all weather, always prepared with hats, gloves, and raincoats. My daughter has so much fun and enjoys messy activities that are hard to do at home! Communication through the app is excellent, and we're regularly updated on plans. They read lots of books and celebrate different festivals, which we really value.
We're delighted to hear that your daughter looks forward to coming each morning and enjoys the activities provided.
We truly appreciate your kind words, thank you for choosing our nursery.

Little learners in Purley have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. My son started last September and had just turned 2. He struggled with the separation a lot but all the staff kept me calm and reassured me that he will get there and will soon be used to it. Which he was. My son has strived at little learners for the passed year. All the staff have been amazing and he loves them all. He's always happy going in and leaving and can see how much he has learnt being there. Thank you to every one of you that have helped my boy this year.
Thank you for your kind words, we truly appreciate your trust and are grateful for your feedback.

The staff are wonderful and really nurture the children. The children thoroughly enjoy all the activities, particularly the woodwork! The nursery has a fantastic outside space with a large climbing frame and lots of outdoor toys and activities for the children. They play outside everyday whatever the weather, and nursery have coats/hats/gloves etc so they know the children are warm and dry!
The children are always excited to go into nursery and come home with lots of stories about what they have been up to. Even though our son is now at school, he still talks about it!
We enjoy seeing the photos and updates on the app. We love the open mornings and big breakfasts when the parents have the opportunity to go in and have a taster of what the children get up to, which the children also look forward to.
We thoroughly recommend little learners purley and are so pleased we picked it for our children.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled both your children have had such a positive experience at our Purley branch. It's lovely to hear how much they've enjoyed the activities, especially the woodwork and outdoor play.Thank you so much for the recommendation.
Thank you to all the ladies at Little Learners Purley, both my children have attended this branch over the past years with my youngest leaving this year to start reception. The ladies there have shown lots of care to both my children especially the manager! Who still holds a strong place in my...
My son's speech has come a long way since starting at this branch and it's all thanks to their one to one attention. He's become a lot more confident in himself and has built good friendships. Thank you so much ladies! The manager and another member of staff you've been amazing and we'll be sad that this chapter is coming to an end! But we will see you around! Xx p.s why am I crying hahaha
Thank you for your heartfelt message-we'll be sure to share it with the team.It's been an privilege to be part of your children's early years at our Purley branch, and we're so grateful you chose us to support them on their journey.
A fantastic place for supporting toddlers and pre-schoolers! Wonderful staff, very empathetic and caring towards children. The curriculum is excellent too, with themed activities to encourage children to learn more about the world. We have had the best experience here and would always recommend it

My son has really come a long way since he first joined the nursery. He didn't speak any English when he first joined but is now very fluent and confident in the language. He's also made lots of friends and developed an interest in a variety of activities. He's also exhibited his talent for painting and sports, which would not have been possible without the excellent and supportive staff.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're thrilled to hear about your son's growth in language, confidence, and his interests. Well be sure to share your comments with the staff team.
I like the app for his learning journal as I get to see what he's been doing and can communicate with his key worker.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We're so pleased your son is enjoying his afternoons with us, and it's great to hear the learning journal app is helping you stay informed and connected.
My son recently started visiting this nursery and I can see so many positive changes in his behaviour in only 4 months time. People are patient, caring and teaches the kids really well. And they take them to small trips which my son loves. And activities are very well planned.

Both of my children have attended Little Learners Day Nursery Purley over the years. My daughter attended 7 years ago and my son has just finished nursery for school. I genuinely believe that we struck gold with Little Learners. It's a wonderful nursery, in a lovely setting, with kind,...
Our little boy has a speech delay and the nursery manager went above and beyond to make nursery a welcoming place for him. She has helped him so much and we will always be extremely grateful to her and the rest of the staff for their time and care. He came on so much during his time at Little Learners.
This is a truly caring and nurturing nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone searching for a nursery for their child.

Staff are kind and familiar to my two boys. Boys are very happy to go which makes working full time easier. Oldest boy is soon transitioning to primary school next door and my youngest will stay in this nursery for another year making pick-up and drop-off a breeze.

I feel my son is in good hands, I love that it is a small and intimate nursery, the staff know exactly what each child ate, drank, slept, played that day and I love that drop off and pick up is one child at a time through a locked door. Children are very safe.

We love Little Learners Purley. The team are great with our son and he thoroughly enjoys his time there. We’ve noticed a leap in his development as the team do so many activities which help introduce the children to many different aspects and elements of learning about day-to-day things as well as wider and larger topics. My son has been a sponge to it all and really enjoys exploring everything and asking questions to get a better understanding.
The facilities they provide for the children in the leisure activities are encouraging.

The nursery is amazing. Staff go above and beyond to soothe and reassure my child when upset. Staff are kind and friendly and always have time to update with what the children have been doing at school that day.
