About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- 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.

A really well run nursery, lovely caring and well trained staff. Food is excellent with a range of tastes and styles. A key feature for me is its right next to the park for afternoon strolling and toddling.

My child has been attending this nursery since she was 13 months old, starting with a couple of half days a week, and gradually moving up to four full days now that she's older. It has provided her with such a great environment to socialise and learn. She has loved making friends there, engaging in all of their activities, playing in the garden and going for walks, and she has become very fond of the staff. Great experience for us all around.

I am a dedicated early years professional with over 18 years of experience in childcare and education. Since beginning my career in 2008, I have worked in a variety of roles, including Teaching Assistant, Nursery Nurse, ALNCo, Safeguarding Lead, Education Leader, Nursery Manager, and now Senior Manager.
Having worked across both large and small nursery settings, I have developed extensive knowledge of early years education, safeguarding, additional learning needs, quality improvement, and nursery leadership. I am passionate about creating safe, inclusive, and nurturing environments where children can thrive, while supporting teams to deliver outstanding care and learning experiences. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with families, professionals, and external agencies to ensure children receive the best possible support and opportunities to reach their full potential.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, taking beach walks with my dog, and paddleboarding.
