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.

This nursery has been fantastic for my little boy. The staff are friendly, caring and professional. My little boy has enjoyed attending and has really come into his own since attending nursery. The commication, care and relationships staff build with the children are all spot on.

My little girl starts her new chapter at school in September, but just want to leave a review for Space Station where she first started her journey, from day 1 the staff were fantastic with her, she felt comfortable almost straight away, the manager was amazing with her and to this day my daughter still remembers the manager and the staff, they really did help her grow and become the child she is now, our little boy had started at Space Station and again loves his time there, I highly recommend Space Station and launchpad.

The Space Station Day Nursery is just amazing. My daughter was so shy before she started attending the nursery, she has really come out of her shell. The staff are so lovely and brilliant with the children, any future children I have will be attending here.

Both of my children went to Space Station Day Nursery, and both enjoyed it a lot! The friendliness of all staff put me at ease that both my children were in safe hands. I received updates daily on their routine throughout the nursery day.

Both of my kids were going to Space Station Day Nursery. They quickly got over their fear of separation from their parents and started enjoying their time there. The friendliness of the staff is outstanding, and they always come up with new ideas to help children's development.

Absolutely amazing. So thankful to every single person who works here and has been there for my daughter. They’re so smiley. So caring. So welcoming. Check-in. Polite and kind. My daughter loves this nursery and everyone there. I love all the updates, personal messages, and photos I get daily. I felt at ease from day one, leaving my child here in safe hands. Absolutely amazing, and I’m so thankful for all the help. Eight months to three years she’s been here, and we’re both sad she’s leaving.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's been a pleasure having your daughter in our care from the baby room and watching her develop and make such fantastic progress. We wish her the best of luck in the next stage of her learning at school! Thank you for choosing Space Station.

We have used Space Station for both our daughters and can’t recommend it highly enough. Special shout out to the manager for going above and beyond all the time!
Thank you for your lovely review. We've loved having both of your girls in our care at Space Station. Thank you for your lovely comments regarding our team; we are extremely grateful for all the support your family has shown us over the years as parents. We are very proud to have seen both of your girls progress from our baby room right through to school. Thank you for choosing Space Station.

My little girl has been going to the nursery for just over four months now, and she absolutely loves it. The staff are very friendly and welcoming - can’t thank them enough for helping settle my little one into the setting and for making it even easier for me and Dad, knowing how safe, happy and content she is attending this nursery makes a massive difference to a lot of parents. Would recommend the nursery to anyone and everyone.
Thank you for your lovely review. We too, are proud of how well your little one has settled in with us. It's lovely to hear that, as parents, you feel reassured that she is safe, happy and content with us.

My son has been coming to Space Station for around nine months now. Although at first, he did cry when coming in due to it being a new setting, the girls in the waddler room are brilliant, really thorough with their work and provide good meaningful activities for him to learn from, and he soon settled in and is now happy to come to nursery every day. Now he's two, I'm looking forward to him moving into toddlers to further his development with children his age. Also, if I've had any concerns or queries, management has been very efficient in dealing with these.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased to hear how happy you are with your son's progress and the care we provide.

My daughter started attending nursery here in January 2023. I can not thank and praise them enough for what they have done for my daughter with her speech, language and overall communication, as well as her eating has massively improved. I was very worried at first about sending her to the nursery, but now I am so, so glad I went with Space Station. Her key worker is also the most amazing person I could have asked for her to be with, and she always asks to go and see her in school; again, I can’t thank them enough.
Thank you for your lovely review; we are so pleased with how happy you are with your daughter's progress with us. Thank you for the special mention of her key worker too!
My daughter was very shy at the beginning, and the staff welcomed her in and made her comfortable - now she looks forward to attending nursery.

Thank you for your lovely review... we appreciate your feedback; it's lovely to hear how happy you and your son are here at Space Station.
Twins settled in quickly with the help of nursery...
Twins settled in quickly with the help of nursery practitioners. Now, whenever we go to pick them up in the afternoon, they are not ready to come home. Twins are premature, and they were behind in their development and milestones. Within a few months of going to nursery, they caught up with the full-term babies. I couldn't be prouder of them. And really thankful to the staff for helping them reach their milestones. I was never stressed about sending them to the nursery because I knew they were in good hands.
Unfortunately, we are moving to Edinburgh, leaving in two weeks and will be really sad to go. Thank you for all the support and for looking after my three precious kids.
Thank you for your lovely review; it was a pleasure seeing your little boy transition from our baby room right through to leaving for school, followed by his twin siblings, who also did amazing in our baby room. We will be sad to see you all leave, but wish you all the best of luck in your new life in Edinburgh, and you will always be part of our Space Station family!

As an SEN parent, it’s really nice to see their child enjoy going to nursery so much. My daughter smiles every time she gets dropped off. The nursery staff are amazing and hands-on with the children and really do a lot behind the scenes to make sure the children are getting any extra support they need. The manager is really kind, caring and really involved in what goes on in each room, and it’s really refreshing to see. They have helped my daughter so much already, and I really can’t recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you for your lovely review, we love seeing your daughter's smiley face in the morning, and we're very proud of her progress too! Thank you for your lovely comments regarding our staff team; we work really hard to build positive parent partnerships.

My son is nearly three and has been at Space Station since he was ten months old. He has progressed through the rooms, and he has therefore been cared for by different team members, and we have nothing but good things to say about them all. The best thing is, in my opinion, the app and daily updates you get on food/naps etc, particularly when they are settling in. They have helped my son come on so much in various areas, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other parents, and I am looking forward to my daughter starting too later this year.
Thank you for your lovely review; we are pleased to hear how happy you have been throughout your son's journey with us, and we can't wait to welcome his baby sister later this year too! We love having you as part of our Space Station family.
Our son loves this nursery and always wants to come back. Since he started attending the nursery, he has learnt a lot of new skills. The staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in this area.

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!
