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 want to express our deepest thanks to the entire team at space station- baby room for the incredible care you've given our daughter. She joined at just 9 months old, and we've been amazed at how beautifully she has settled in. It's clear she feels secure, happy, and engaged-and as parents, that...
She is truly thriving-hitting her milestones, growing in confidence, and showing so much curiosity thanks to the nurturing and stimulating environment you've created. I anm especially grateful for the way you support her exploration through well-planned activities, and how attentive you are to her individual needs.
Your communication with me at the end of each day has also been exceptional. The thoughtful handovers keep us connected to her journey and show just how much care goes into every part of her day.
Thank you for being such a positive part of our daughters early development. I feel incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated, caring, and professional team.

Absolutely fantastic nursery, the staff are really amazing at their jobs. I was really nervous about my son who has higher needs starting nursery, as he is quite delayed with his milestones. But since starting he has really started to blossom and come into himself, and the progress he is making is outstanding to see. He is also very thrilled and excited to go in, that excited he forgets mum and dad and runs straight in! As a parent it's really beautiful to see my son thriving thanks to everyone who works at Space Station. Would recommend this nursery to everyone.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are super proud of the progress your son has made in his time with us. Thank you for choosing Space Station!
What a brilliant nursery. My child was a bit unsettled at first but has come to absolutely adore the nursery workers and staff. They are all so welcoming and caring and have made my child feel so at ease. The onboarding was great and I feel very confident with my child being brought up here.

My little boy started in the baby room in January and has come on so much. He has settled in amazing and learnt so many new things already and become a lot more sociable. I couldn't thank the staff in baby room enough. One staff member has done an amazing job at helping my child settle in. The staff have all been a massive part of that too. They are all so polite and welcoming too. I love hearing what they have been up to and have had for dinner as he eats like a king there. I will most definitely be enrolling my next baby and recommending space station to others. All staff in baby room are an asset to the nursery and I couldn't fault them for a single thing. Thank you for being a massive part of my baby's journey x
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so proud of how your son has adapted to nursery life with us, and the changes in him have been amazing. We can't wait to welcome your next little to our Space Station family. Thank you for choosing Space Station.

I couldn't have picked a better nursery for my child, after finding it hard to be away from me he has gained a brilliant relationship with all the staff and his key worker in particular and is now more confident than ever, they have come on leaps and bounds since starting this nursery and I am very please with everything about it. The communication is great between staff and parents, constant updates on the app throughout the day which reassures me, my child, is settled and having a good day, updates on nappy changes, toilet visits and snacks and dinner are a great piece of mind for a worrier like me.

Space Station was a great choice for my daughter. She had been at a childminder from 6 months old and I was very nervous and anxious about her going to a nursery. My daughter did take a while to transition but the whole team were so supportive in that transition. Communication was amazing, altering certain routines for my daughter to accommodate her and also supporting me. My daughter has thrived at the nursery and she now loves it. She has a key worker who she loves and understands my daughter really well. We have updates regularly, pictures and meetings so I can fully understand my daughter's progress and what she is doing. Great team and a great nursery. Special mention to one staff member in particular who has been so good with my daughter and is an asset to the team.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so proud of how well your daughter has adapted to nursery life, she certainly is thriving! We also appreciate your lovely comments regarding the team and the support you received. Thank you for choosing the Space Station!

My son is in the Waddler room and absolutely loves it, especially the meals provided. The staff are so patient, attentive, and genuinely caring with all the children. A special shoutout to two staff members, who are assigned to my son and always go above and beyond to ensure he's well looked after. We couldn't be happier with our experience!
Thank you for your lovely review and comments regarding our team, we're so pleased to hear how happy you are with the care we provide. Thank you for choosing Space Station!

Since my child started nursery here in March 2023, she has come on leaps and bounds! She loves her time at nursery 4 days a week, has come out of her shell so much and loves playing with her friends. The girls always look after my child and support when needed in anything specific such as potty training. I would always recommend this nursery to anyone!

My kid's progress can be seen and as a parent could be happier with the experience. Myself and my Wife can rest assured that our son is safe and happy there.
Thank you for your lovely review, it's been a pleasure having both of your boys in our care. Thank you for choosing Space Station!
My son has attended Space Station since he was 4 months old and choosing this nursery was the best choice I could have made for him. His experience in every room has been exceptional. The key workers know my child very well and give key updates as to his progress and next steps including tips for...
My son is developing above his age level and has built fantastic relationships with peers and staff. The communication is excellent, the curriculum is considered and implemented effectively and creatively so the children continually build new skills while enjoying themselves.
My son will be moving to preschool soon and though I am sad, I know that he is ready and the transition will be perfectly planned, as all others have been.
I could not recommend Space Station more and there would be no words to thank them for everything they have taught my son and the love and care they show daily.
Thank you for your lovely review, we cant believe how fast the time has gone, he's definitely ready for his next chapter in pre-school. Thank you for choosing Space Station!

Hi, I'm Kim. I am Level 4 qualified, and I have 25+ years of experience in Early Years. I have worked in various roles throughout my career as a Nursery Assistant, Room Leader and Deputy Manager. I have been in a management position for over 13 years. I have been with Space Station since we opened our doors in July 2017, and I've really enjoyed building my team and nursery over that time and seeing us go from strength to strength. I also have other roles within the nursery as Safeguarding Lead and Lead SENCO, so I oversee the support of our children with additional needs. The thing I love most about my job is that no 2 days are ever the same, and being around children, they always give you a reason to smile. Early Years are important years for any child, and knowing that my amazing team contribute to that is why I love what I do!
