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 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 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.

Our boys are doing so well there, and it's clear how much effort the team puts into supporting their development. They are always engaging the children in a wide range of creative activities that help them learn, grow, and build confidence.
Communication is excellent - we're always kept informed about anything that has happened throughout the day, which gives great peace of mind. The app is also fantastic, allowing us to see what the boys have been up to, with regular updates and photos. They always look so happy and settled, which says everything.

They use a great app which the nursery uses to send me updates and messages, shares golden moments relating to her development and has a diary so I can see what she is doing during the day.

The staff have worked hard to establish bonds with our daughter who was very clingy when she started. They all take the time and effort to know the children in the baby room spotting every development and milestone, our daughter is happy and excited to go to the staff when she arrives

All staff (room practitioners and the management team) is very well-organised, they always have creative activities and I could see very good progress in my son's development. Also, I believe my little one really enjoys the delicious and nutritious meals provided!
