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 little boy has been going to this nursery for almost 2 years now and they have been absolutely fantastic with helping him settle in and grow in confidence as he sometimes has a hard time at handover, they have been so patient and understanding with him, he has started to show more with his confidence and speech and his learning, they keep me updated throughout the day with what he's eating, and the things they're doing which is great for anxious parents leaving their child for the first time. My child is due to start school this September and I just know that he is going to do great all because Tilly-Mints has helped him a lot, especially with independence, could not recommend this nursery enough.

My son was forced to change nursery due to the close of his original. I thought he would struggle as he’d made a good friend at the first one, but the staff at Tilly-Mints made him feel welcome and now he has a whole new friendship group. His learning and behaviour have improved since joining Tilly-Mints and I’m absolutely over the moon with how much he is thriving there. I couldn’t thank all the staff members enough for their work.
With regards...
With regards to the following topics, honestly, I'm not sure about ICT access for the children, but I feel like whilst they're this young, it's best to let them play and learn that way, they'll be introduced to UT facilities at home and when they go to school. I don't feel badly about the outside play space, it's more a shame for the nursery that they don't have more land and more space for outside play. But they seem to make up for that with the different activities they have for outside. And my little one always seems to have fun regardless.
My little boy has been going to Tilly-Mints for nearly 2 years now and he loves it. All the staff are so friendly and caring, he loves them all. He has come on so much since starting and loves coming home to tell me all about his day. I couldn’t recommend Tilly-Mints enough.

We have had nothing but positive experiences with the nursery, the staff and management are fantastic, very supportive, caring and friendly. There is a good structure and range of activities to support development.

All the staff are wonderful. I have a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old there and nothing is ever too much for the staff. They have run extra sessions, they run a yoga session and the communication is fab both on their app and in person. Both my kids have come along leaps and bounds from their time there.

I have 2 children attending Tilly-Mints Nursery. The staff have been brilliant with my boys and they love attending the nursery. The staff are always happy to help if you have a question or want to know how your child is doing.

My grandson has attended Tilly-Mints since 2022. From the first visit, we knew this was the nursery for us. The staff are caring, professional and supportive not only towards our grandson but to the family. The daily communication through the app and drop off/pick up times ensures we are informed of all aspects of his nursery day. Even after a long day, the staff greet you with smiles. Cannot praise Tilly-Mints enough for their dedication to deliver excellent childcare.
Always kept up to date about my child, lovely caring staff, always know my child is in safe hands. He has come on loads since starting with Tilly-Mints. To be honest will be sad when he leaves. Couldn't have asked for better people to look after my son.

Excellent nursery. My son has been coming here since he was approximately 18 months old and will be leaving in September for big school. I can’t fault the care he has received from when he was small. Especially when it comes to his support plan ensuring he gets the help he needs.

We have had a great first experience with my 3-year-old starting nursery for the first time. I have seen an improvement in her communication skills already. She looks forward to coming in every day now, love to see her updates and achievements. Thank you.

My child is preparing to start school in September and Tilly Mints are playing a big part in encouraging independence to give her the best start. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Absolutely amazing nursery. They go above and beyond for our son on a daily basis. They are very friendly and caring. They always keep us informed throughout the day which is very reassuring as a parent. We could not recommend them enough.

The staff are all fantastic at their jobs and I can relax knowing my son is in the best hands there. He literally runs in there on a morning, excited to play with his friends and learn as he's playing. Highly recommended.
