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 son started in September 2020 at only 7 and a half months old and, despite being in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, the team went out of their way to ensure he could have the best setting in experience in the circumstances. Since that time, he has grown to love going to nursery and he is clearly attached to the team that look after him. I have monthly calls with his key worker and, it is clear he is relaxed, as he is exactly the same at nursery as he is at home. The staff know him very well and have no hesitation giving me a call if he doesn’t seem himself. I couldn’t be happier with this nursery and look forward to the world returning to normal so we can enjoy it even more.
Sam loves this nursery and all the staff will be sad for him to leave.

All of the staff are really friendly and attentive. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We are given regular feedback from staff on how our child is progressing. They have done a fantastic job throughout such a challenging time.

The day we took my son to go meet and view the nursery, he promptly sat down, removed his shoes and started playing! We knew then that this was the place! He remained there happily until he left for school, and his sister also goes to Tilly Mints and waltzes in without even looking back half the time!
The staff are fantastic with the kids and us needy parents, and despite my daughter having multiple allergies, the care has been fantastic in managing her safety.
I recommend Tilly Mints all the time, and it will be a sad day when my daughter leaves for school! 10/10.

My daughter has been attending Tilly-Mints Cherubs Day Nursery Ltd since she was six months old and she loves it. All care is child centred. The staff are consistent, compassionate and knowledgeable. Information is always available on how my daughter is progressing, in both her social skills and language skills, which have both definitely been enhanced with her attending nursery. Being around other children in a Covid-19 safe environment has definitely been extremely reassuring for my daughter and us during the pandemic. It has meant that my daughter had a little bit of “normality” during this challenging time. We find the fees very reasonable for the level of care my daughter receives. Meals are always enjoyed and an adequate hydration is ensured whilst my daughter is running around Usain Bolt! All the care professionals at nursery do an amazing job and despite varied messy play activities, my daughter always comes back clean. This is a miracle and deserves a five star rating alone!

Tilly-Mints is a brilliant early year setting with extremely caring and genuine staff. With a variety of activities, learning tool, toys and outdoor space for the children to choose from. With a healthy variety of breakfast, snacks and lunches, my son is trying lots of new things, which is great! My son has made friends and has a great connection with all the friendly staff members. I wouldn't send him anywhere else!
Great activities and good caring staff.
I feel communication could be better in terms of being able to put in holidays and with regards to payment.

My daughter has additional needs and staff work hard to give her the same opportunities as every other child and spend a lot of time teaching her with learning aids. I am so glad I chose Tilly-Mints.

My little boy has been going to Tilly Mints since he was 1 year old. He started off in the baby room and he has moved on to the bumble bee room. He has come on leaps and bounds since being there. All the staff are lovely and made me and my little boy feel reassured when we leave each other from the start. My little boy loves going and gets very excited when he knows its a nursery day.
My daughter has settled for nearly 2 years now. Only 2 days a week but she really enjoys it. She likes going, no crying or clinging to Mam or Dad which fills me with confidence that she is happy, feels safe and well looked after. Staff are very friendly.

All the staff are extremely friendly, nurturing and caring towards our daughter and it is clear they have her best interests at heart. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and has settled in really quickly, thanks to all the lovely staff. She also has a good appetite and we are really happy with the nutritious and balanced food provided throughout the day and also the range of activities the children take part in. We have appreciated the nursery's efforts to form a parent partnership with us through activities such as the autumn 'Welly Walk' and the Christmas Fair as well as the small (age appropriate) homework tasks. Overall, we are confident that our daughter is safe, happy and her development is flourishing at Tilly-Mints Cherubs Day Nursery.
