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 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 9.5 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 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.

I have been connected to Boat House Day Nursery since 2017 and still going on. My kids are always happy with them and I have also felt my kids learning and visible progress with their support. I have never had any worries at all. They are the best ones I have ever seen, they are all-rounders in every department; whether it’s kids learning, care, nutrition, activities, facilities, safety and security, cleanliness and especially staff interaction and their concern towards children and parents. This shows that they are fully professional and dedicated towards their responsibilities. I wish them all the very best forever and want to see them shining and growing forever.
Thank you for such a lovely review; it has been such a pleasure looking after each of your children. This review means so much to us as a team, thank you again for your kind words.
My son used to cry getting dropped off but now runs into the room with excitement for the day.
Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending Boat House for just over a year now and it's like a second home to him. He loves all the staff and always has the best day, coming home with new skills and great stories about the fun he has had. There are a lot of things I appreciate about this nursery; The staff have always been so helpful and accommodating, from helping him with a medical emergency last year to helping him with potty training this year and everything in between. They are flexible to our care requirements, with great communication and attention to detail. The food has always impressed me, varied and nutritional meals and lots of different flavours. The days are structured well but still give the children lots of independence and freedom to be creative. It feels very Montessori-based and sometimes I am amazed at the things my son picks up so quickly. Finally, it's a nice location and a good size with lots of outdoor play and the indoor sensory room and soft play are also great. No complaints!
Thank you for the lovely review, we are always happy to help and support our families. It's a pleasure looking after your child.

This nursery has helped my son since he started last year, they have picked up on his problems and we have together got things in place to help him. I couldn’t have asked for a better set of staff to look after both of my children. They are always there for the children and parents and actually listen to you. The children are well taken care of and everyone goes that extra mile.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is a pleasure to look after your children, to watch them learn and support them in getting ready for school.
My child has learnt so much only being there 3 months. She was very shy at first but the staff was so helpful with settling her.
Staff are amazing and all-around great carers.
The nursery is clean.

Thank you for your review we feel it's important to keep our parents and carers up to date with their child's day-to-day activities.
My daughter has settled well in nursery, and she enjoys seeing the staff. She's progressed and learned so much already in the two months she has been there. The app is a bonus, so we can see what she does daily.

Our son currently attends Boat House Day Nursery three days a week and is in the Babies and Waddlers class. He absolutely loves attending nursery, and it is amazing to see how much he has developed since being there; it’s wonderful to see his speech coming on. The care and attention he receives from each staff member is amazing, especially his key worker. Thank you, Boat House, for the care you give and for everything you do!

Thank you for your lovely review, we would like to wish your son good luck moving on to reception.
My son had an amazing experience at the Boathouse Day nursery in the 15 months he attended. He wasn't able to talk when he first started in April 2022, just before his little sister was born and with our support and the support of all the nursery staff (especially his key worker), he has left the...
We cannot recommend this nursery enough; I don't believe my son would have been ready for school without their help, and we will always be grateful for that.
The staff are brilliant, the food is excellent quality (was always eaten!), and the facilities are great for all the children.
Thank you Boat House Day Nursery for the brilliant experience, I can't wait for my daughter to attend when she's old enough!
Thank you for your lovely review; we would like to wish your son good luck in his next chapter moving on to school.

The nursery is excellent and has been a huge support when managing referrals and extra support for my little boy who has additional needs. Since starting at Boat House his social skills have advanced massively and he has now begun to say some words. I believe a massive reason for this is the one-to-one attention and sessions he has with the staff at Boat House. My younger daughter has also been attending Boat House since she was 5 months old and has really settled in developing good independence and confidence from the routine.

Thank you for your lovely review, it's a pleasure looking after your little girl and supporting her through her early years.
The Boat House is a lovely nursery with friendly, helpful staff who are fantastic with the kids and really bring on their development and pre-school education in a low key, warm and supportive environment. I can’t recommend them highly enough, my son loved it here.
