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.

My little boy previously attended this nursery and I was really happy with the care he received and so have recently enrolled my baby girl. It’s a fantastic nursery all the staff are friendly, welcoming and make you feel at ease.

My little girl has been attending Boat House Day Nursery since around August, September 2020 and she has come on so much since then. She is two and a half now and her speech, manners and intelligence has come on leaps and bounds and I know a lot of it is from her attending nursery and being around other children, learning from the activities that the staff do with the children. Every week she comes home with something new she has learnt. She has settled in very well to the environment and we have never had any issues. The toddler room staff are great and always ensure that they let me know how she has been that day. I am happy with the food that is provided too and I would highly recommend a child to go there.
I would recommend this nursery as they are a brilliant, understated people and they're always there to help you too. They have helped me and my child through so much and it has been a different year but they got a great routine and together, we all got through the hardest year.

Cannot recommended this nursery enough! I was very nervous about returning to work after maternity leave but our little girl loved it here from day one and the staff are very caring towards her, which was really reassuring. They have great, clean facilities and are always doing lots of fun activities. I love all of the art work and crafts that she brings home for us. The app that they use is brilliant and is updated throughout the day so that we can see exactly how she is getting on. Honestly cannot fault it at all, very satisfied with our choice.
My sons been at the nursery two years, the staff are so kind, caring and my son is so happy. His speech has come on and he looks forward to go there, defiantly recommend. The attention the girls give to my son is unconditional, they do so many fun things, dress up, paint, outdoor play and the...

The attention the girls give to my son is unconditional, they do so many fun things, dress up, paint, outdoor play and the place is lovely.
My daughter has been attending Boat House since she was 13-months-old and she leaves there now ready for school. Initially, it was difficult for her to settle and the staff were fantastic with her and myself when leaving her each time and I knew we had made the right choice with Boat House from...
The building itself is great with lots of toys and activities to keep them active with lots of fun learning ideas. The security there is great with fingerprint access only and parents can only access the room their child is in. Parents can also keep up to date with what their child is doing by the app they use where staff regularly update it with photographs/written updates.
The staff are very attentive and always have time to speak with parents about their child's needs/concerns etc. We have found them to always be very supportive and helpful.

The setting itself is great. Great sized rooms, filled with lots of toys/activities for the children to learn and develop. One of the details which we loved was the security at the nursery - fingerprint entry system. Only authorised people (staff/parents/carers) could enter the building and then once inside non-staff people can only access the room that their child is based. They also have an app which you can see what your child has been doing throughout each day, how many nappy changes? How much have they eaten? What have they been up to?
The staff themselves are really friendly and supportive - to the children and to the parents! And the admin staff are also really friendly and helpful.
My daughter loves going to Boat House and we will all be really sad to leave in a couple of months.
It's absolutely the best nursery across the universe. After moving out from Dukinfield I have tried two other nurseries near home, but I have come back to the Boat House Day Nursery, as I can't find even similar care, not saying about better. All staff are absolutely amazing and helpful. My son is...
I highly recommend this nursery and I think five stars is not enough.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 6 months old. The care is second to none - they are attentive to her development and she genuinely loves it.
They have been incredibly supportive of us as a family and I feel safe leaving her there. We have witnessed their policies around all aspects of toddler behaviour - we've suffered bites and also had an episode where my daughter was the biter. They use recognised developmental psychology approaches and handle this perfectly.
I will be sad when she has to go to school.
My son attended this nursery for over year. Thought everything was fine until staff (including management) lied to me after my son was hurt on 3 different occasions. Their 'policies' were not followed.

Our setting is a brand new setting (Opening Jan 16) and this child attended from the start, our facilities and resources are of a high standard and we had a good Ofsted registration inspection which reflected on this
The parent has been very critical in her views as we accommodated her every wish so that her child was to be looked after to her standards, the child was bitten whilst in our care and she didn't like the response we gave or that we had to follow our biting policy, which is what we have to follow to show we support all children in our care.
During the time we cared for the child she was constantly praising the nursery staff for the progress the child had made and the level of care and attention they received, she never once said that she didn't like our menus or the standard of the nursery cleanliness.We will hope that you will see this review as unfair and a malicious way to jeopardise the nursery setting. The staff and manager are upset with this review as they felt they worked alongside the parent in every way they could to make them feel secure.

Excellent nursery with excellent staff. My boy was very happy at this nursery from start to finish. Staff are excellent. I would highly recommend the Boat House, my little boys came on leaps and bounds learning and growing with other children and staff. The nursery was very clean and very secure with high security, excellent friendly staff. Thanks to the staff my boys are all ready for big boy nursery now, thank you.
