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 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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 daughter, just turning 2, has been at Yardley Forest Nursery since 11 months old. First 4 days a week, now full time. Going back to work and leaving her in the hands of others was very emotional, and we visited many many nurseries ahead of our final decision. We acted on gut instinct, more taking into account the behaviour and disposition of the children in the nurseries and we saw immediately how happy the children were at Yardley Forest and how close they were with the staff. This last year has proven our choice right. The staff are truly caring, interactive, attentive and fun. The facilities and location are wonderful. If it is outdoor weather they make the most of it in the huge garden and play area. The online diary gives us an overview of her day (meals, naps and nappy changes) which is very useful as it allows us to plan her supper and bedtime. Our daughter is flourishing and loves nursery. I can't recommend the nursery highly enough.
Having tried a few other local nurseries I finally took my children out of a place I wasn't happy with (a large, expensive chain) and now they go to the magical Yardley Forest Nursery.

Having tried a few other local nurseries I finally took my children out of a place I wasn't happy with (a large, expensive chain) and now they go to the magical Yardley Forest Nursery.
I'm so happy I found this place but slightly annoyed it took me so long! My children race from the car to get to the front door and the staff and children all seem very happy to see them and to be there themselves.
They get to spend large chunks of time in the forest itself and are always happy, tired and nicely muddy/glittered when I pick them up. They love their key carers and it feels like an extended family setting.
If your child likes to be outside then it doesn't get any better than this.
