About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of 2 to 3 year olds can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week, and some families on qualifying benefits can claim 15 hours regardless of working status. 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 48 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 8 funded hours per day, stretched across 48 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 23.8 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.

First, I felt that the Pre-School was very safe with friendly staff. It is an educational-based facility with a small ratio of children and different aspects of learning through sensory and play. My two daughters extremely enjoyed their journey in Pre-School. The staff are professional and fantastic. It is very nice to know that my daughter is in a caring environment while she isn't home.
Thank you for your kind words, and it was a pleasure to educate both girls.
Fantastic! The Pre-School has been amazing with both of my children and really helped bring them out of their shells and get them ready for school!

My daughter has been looked after amazingly throughout the year. The staff are lovely, caring and always happy to help. My daughter was shy, to begin with, but within a few short sessions, she has already begun to fit in due to the consistency of the staff routine and lovely activities. I would recommend the nursery to everyone. The perfect start to my daughter's education!
It has been a pleasure to see her blossom over the last year.
Brilliant experience with Swineshead Pre-School - facilities and the staff. My daughter has really enjoyed the day-to-day activities the staff do and made some really good friends along the way. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Dan; it has been a pleasure to have your child; she has been a breath of fresh air with her ever bubbly personality!
Since my daughter's time at preschool, she has flourished. Staff are super reliable, friendly and supportive. The manager will always go out of her way to help you. The setting itself is bright, fun and creative.

We were very pleased how the nurseries family looked after our kids. Our son developed a lot through activities and play at the nursery; will definitely come back.

Swineshead Pre-School has been wonderful from start to finish. My daughter has loved being there and has grown very fond of all the staff and children. Her confidence has grown so much, and comes away so happy. They have been brilliant with accommodating her food allergies, and nothing was too much trouble. Her key worker was wonderful; she has nurtured my daughter's sensitive nature and enabled her to flourish. I could not recommend Swineshead Pre-School enough.

The manager and staff at Swineshead Pre School are truly amazing. Their warm personalities and caring nature give you the confidence your child is being left in safe hands. Our son has additional needs and their dedication and constant support have been invaluable to us as a family. Our son's learnt to communicate and manage his behaviour with their guidance. They have endless patience and positivism towards all their children. We now send our other child there and she loves it too. I would not send our children anywhere else and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
We absolutely love Swineshead Pre-School Centre. We can't fault anything about it. It's cheerful, fun and there are always lots of activities and fun things going on. The children always sound happy and are full of chat, I would highly recommend to anybody looking to find a pre-school.

It has been the best choice to send them here and we will be forever grateful for all their help. They have both taken part in Forest School which has been a very enjoyable part of their time.

I honestly cannot fault Swineshead Pre-school in the slightest. We have gained a really good bond with all of the staff over the years. When my son has been poorly in the past, they dealt with him so well and ensured I knew immediately. Very sad that it's time to say goodbye.

Place that makes you feel comfortable and safe, that you can put your trust into with your child. The staff go above and beyond, with parent partnership being key.

Could not have chosen a better preschool for my daughter. From day one, the staff have been incredible, involved and always enthusiastic. They always have smiles on their faces. My daughter always comes home saying how much fun she has had and always loves going to preschool. She actually jumps about shouting yay! You have all been fantastic, and I'm so sad we can't take all the staff with us to big school. Thank you for everything.
