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.

My Daughter has attended Tilly-Mints Nursery since she was 10 months old. The staff are so welcoming & are fantastic at what they do. We are always welcomed with a friendly hello & walk into a lovely environment. My daughter settled right in & loves to attend the 2 days a week she is there. The staff keep me updated throughout the day with how my daughter is, they especially did this when she first started, which put me at ease. I can see how much my daughter has come on in the 7 months she has been attending Tilly-Mints, the staff have helped her with her walking & skills. Overall I am very impressed with this nursery & I would highly recommend Tilly-Mints Nursey. I am so pleased I chose this Nursery for my Daughter.

Our 4 year old is thriving here, she loves going 3 days a week, and like her older brother who attended from 8 months old up until infant school, has a strong educational foundation which has made the transition to school an easy step.

My daughter went to tilly mints nursery for 2 and half years. All the staff have been amazing and very easy to talk to. Staff are very friendly and always there to help. Our daughter loved nursery and all the different activities they had planned throughout the day. We would highly recommend this nursery as the warmth and care they have showed to our family has been amazing. We loved getting our observations of what our daughter had been up to and being able to communicate easily with everyone.

Lovely little setting grossly let down by immature and unprofessional management. My eldest son attended here and enjoyed it, but unfortunately we were offered term-time only hours for my youngest son from April 2024 only to be told this was no longer an option when we attended with him for his first visit. We challenged management on this only for them to refuse to take any responsibility, leaving us without childcare.
Thank you for your review. We regret that we were unable to accommodate your child due to concerns raised during the application process. Our priority is to maintain a safe and positive environment for all children and staff. We wish you the best in finding suitable childcare. We normally encourage feedback based on children attending the nursery not who do not attend the setting.
Tilly Mints Day Nursery is an amazing nursery to send any child to the staff are so amazing with every child and they are amazing with us parents too. My children love attending this nursery and learn so much and always love to tell me stories from their day.

My little girl has been going since she turned 1 last June and she absolutely loves it! The girls there are amazing and I couldn’t thank them enough for how much my little girl has learnt being there 3 days a week. Always comes out with a smile on her face.

Tilly Mints Nursery is exceptional, boasting a welcoming environment and a team of incredible staff. My daughter eagerly looks forward to the days she goes to nursery to engage in a variety of exciting activities that stimulate her curiosity. The warmth, patience, and kindness displayed by every member of staff have made a significant impact on her development, fostering a deep sense of trust and affection and she’s come on leaps and bounds since she started here 2 years ago. I wholeheartedly recommend Tilly Mints Nursery to anyone seeking a nurturing, engaging, and fun setting for their child's early learning experiences.

The staff have been working so hard with our son to develop his skills, and we can see that he has come on leaps and bounds with their support in addition to our own - especially over the last few weeks. It is also so clear that being with his peers encourages our son to learn and grow- he is full of confidence but also we can see his kindness and caring nature shine through- something we know is nurtured at Tilly-Mints.
We wouldn’t go anywhere else!
