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.

We are really happy with the nursery and grateful for the care and support they provide. My children attend full-time and have settled in really well. It's reassuring to know that they are happy, safe, and comfortable in their environment. The staff are friendly and caring, and we appreciate all the hard work they put into looking after the children and helping them learn and develop.
One area that could be improved is communication with parents, particularly receiving more regular updates on the famly app about what the children have been doing during the day, what they have learnt, and how they are progressing. More pictures of them throughout the day or week would be great especially as they spend full days at nursery.Overall, we are very pleased with the nursery and appreciate the positive impact it has had on both children. Thank you to all the staff.
The staff log what was offered at snack time, when nappy changes were made and what time nap time started and ended. This really helps to appease my worries whilst my child is at nursery. I am always told how my childs day was and what they got up to whilst at nursery.

So far, our experience has been very positive. At the beginning, my little girl would often cry during drop-off, but the ladies were always kind, patient, and reassuring towards her.

I really appreciate the feedback I receive when I pick her up, as it helps me understand how her day has gone. She is now so excited to go to nursery, which makes me happy because I can see that she is settling in well and enjoying her time there.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child receives at this nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to meet every need, no matter how big or small. They create such a nurturing, warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe, loved, valued and encouraged to thrive.
One of the things we appreciate most is the nursery's holistic approach to childcare. It is clear that the team genuinely takes the time to get to know each child as an individual. Our child is truly known by the staff, who understand their personality, interests, likes and dislikes.
The curriculum is fantastic, engaging and thoughtfully planned, providing wonderful opportunities for learning, development and exploration. Our child absolutely loves the activities and experiences on offer and is always excited to attend nursery.We are so grateful to have our child in such a wonderful setting and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.
My child loves going to nursery every day. He is autistic so struggles with new environments, but thanks to the excellent staff at the nursery he has settled in and started to improve his social and communication skills.
