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.

Amazing staff at Space Station Day Nursery, very welcoming and friendly, very supportive of the needs of the child and the parent.

Thank you for your lovely review; it's lovely to hear how much we have supported both you and your son with the transition into nursery life. Thank you for choosing Space Station.

My boy started nursery in September at 11 months last year. Honestly, the transition from maternity leave to work, and the nursery was scary, to begin with for me personally. We initially booked a tour to see the nursery pretty early to ensure we can book a space. We were honestly blown away; the nursery was the clean, modern and friendly staff, the app on the phone and much more. Honestly, I am lost for words with how much he has come on. We are in 6 months since starting nursery, and he absolutely loves it; he no longer cries on drop-offs. He confidently goes into the baby's room with a big smile on his face. His speech has come on so much, as have his walking and all his motor skills. I am honestly speechless. He is such a crafty little toddler now, and I could not thank the staff enough for everything they do for our boy. It is honestly the best feeling knowing how much he loves the nursery and how well he is cared for. We will always be grateful and he absolutely loves his key worker and all the baby staff.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very proud of how far your little one has come since joining us last September. We're pleased to hear we helped make your transition back to work a smooth one. We love having you all as part of our Space Station family.

My daughter has been going to Space Station for over a year now and she absolutely loves it. From the moment she enters to being picked up she has a smile on her face. The staff are so welcoming and amazing with my daughter and I would not trust anyone else. Her development has come on so well since attending. Thank you to everyone who works there and for all your hard work.
Thank you for your lovely review, we love seeing her smiley face every morning. We're so pleased to read how happy you are with everything we do.
Absolutely incredible nursery which has been part of my family for 4.5 years, looking after both my children and they both love it here. The staff are amazing and seeing the bond my kids have with them, reassured me, Space Station was definitely the right choice.

Thank you for your lovely review, it's been a pleasure having you all as part of our Space Station family and having both your children in our care.
We have been here for over a year now, and my son absolutely loves it. I can't sing their praises enough honestly, from the get-go we were both comfortable and eased into nursery life.

As a first-time parent, I was so unsure of the benefits of the nursery but honestly, I don't regret a single thing other than not doing it a little sooner! We will be sad to move on.
Thank you very much for your great review, it's much appreciated. It's great to hear that your son has enjoyed his time with us at the Space Station Day Nursery.

My daughter started at Space Station earlier on in the year due to me moving her from a previous nursery that had many flaws. That is not the case with this nursery. The manager is so professional and knows her job so well, which reflects in her staff. They are all so lovely and welcoming, and nothing but your childrens best interests are at the forefront. My daughter runs into the nursery with pure joy on her face - that alone puts me at ease. The app is a great piece of mind; you are able to see what your child has done during the day, from what they have eaten, slept etc. I am due to have another baby in the new year and don't have any apprehension about them joining Space Station.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we love nothing more than seeing your little one's smiley face in the morning when she comes in and we can't wait to have your new addition with us too. We are pleased to hear how happy you are with our services and the conduct of our staff team.
My daughter started Space Station in May this year after I had to go back to work after maternity leave. It was not only a huge change for her but also me, but the staff were nothing short of being amazing during the transition; they reassured me most days that she was doing well. It made the...
Thank you for everything you do!
Thank you for your lovely review; we are so pleased to hear how happy you and your child are and how we helped you with your return to work from maternity leave.
Absolutely amazing! My little girl loves it here, she has additional needs and all the staff have been brilliant with her, especially her key worker and the manager! Honestly 10/10 in every area I honestly couldn't think of one fault. I and my daughter are very happy here.

My 2-year-old daughter started nursery at Space Station in January, and it’s the best decision for her I have ever made. The staff and management are amazing. As my little girl is a lockdown baby, it took her a little while to settle in at drop-offs, but the staff made both her and myself find the whole process really smooth. She absolutely loves going now, and her speech and understanding have come on amazingly. They have a really good app where they tell you all that is going on during the day, and you can message and speak to any member of staff instantly to settle any of Mum's nerves! I would recommend them to anyone. Amazing, amazing place.
Really take the child's needs seriously and accommodate for allergies and skin conditions. The staff are really friendly, and my son is always happy and settled in perfectly. The nursery is great with security, so I can take my son knowing he will be 100-per cent safe.

My little girl has been going since she was two and she has come on leaps. They noticed a problem with her speech and got right on with it. Every time I pick her up, she comes out with a smile on her face.

My 10-month-old daughter was halfway into her settling-in session when I had a phone call to come in to help settle her as she was still distressed. I arrived at the nursery to be told by the manager that my daughter had been upset but also some of it was out of “temper”. I stayed in the baby room for the remaining hour, the staff were more concerned about what they had done at the weekend, there was no consoling of upset babies, no stimulation whatsoever in regards to play. One member of staff kept on telling a little girl ‘no’ because she was getting a toy out from a different area to where she was going to play. I asked if they sang or played nursery rhymes and I was told they do so, the reason I asked was because the room was mind-numbing, no wonder there were babies struggling to settle in. Another member of staff proceeded to tell me that her job is stressful and she doesn’t enjoy it. This is clearly not a stimulating and positive environment that children should be thriving in.
We would like to thank you for your honest feedback on your experience during your settling-in session. We can assure you that we have taken your comments seriously and that this isn't our usual practice. Our staff have been spoken to and are now undergoing an observation process to ensure our standards remain at the highest level to deliver the best childcare possible.
At the moment, the nursery has some newly born chicks, and my little one is amazed and always talking about them.

There are plenty of activities and good structure. The staff give frequent updates via an app so you can have piece of mind of what the little one is doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend this nursery.
I cannot recommend Space Station enough. My daughter has absolutely loved her time here and we are both sad to leave. The staff are all fantastic and caring and the children really love them. The manager is friendly and approachable and always happy to listen to any concerns you have and will go...
The place is welcoming and fun for the children. It’s a lovely nursery and my daughter has loved it.
Thank you Space Station.

My child started the nursery in January 2019. It was a transfer from another nursery, as we moved in Droylsden Area, so I can compare.
First impression: Friendly staff which were showing the premises, explaining all details of the child routine.
Fees: Average in area, we paid even £50 less/month in comparison with the previous nursery.
Security: Fingerprints on entry and in each group. CCTV camera in each group and outside. On entry a monitor where you can see what your child is doing.
Premises: Every room has plenty of activities for play and development for different ages, benches for colouring, blocks, kitchens etc. Outside outdoor slides, bikes, scooters. A wonderful garden, where kids were planting vegetables and plants.
App: a wonderful app with child’s pictures, videos, daily observations in development and performance, an app where we can check what our child had for dinner, how much.
Our little girl absolutely loves it here. She’s been attending since January 2020 and has settled incredibly well. Her development has come on in leaps and bounds and, despite being only 17 months old and missing a solid 3 months due to COVID, after only a few sessions back she doesn’t even turn...
We have regular updates from the nursery via the app, from pictures of her making cakes and crafts to reading books with staff in the circle and playing games with the other children. Each development milestone is logged so we don’t miss anything new and we are often amazed at the varied meals and snacks she gets to try which she thoroughly enjoys.
I swear, every day she eats better than royalty, comes home covered in some concoction, and is flat out all night from enjoying her days at nursery.
When are you guys going to be opening on weekends?
The nursery itself is very clean and organised, there’s always a good mix of healthy foods on offer for the children. This nursery is an excellent choice if you are considering it.

He has come on so much with his speech and he can now count to ten and can say the days of the week as well. I would highly recommend Space Station to everyone who needs a nursery for their children. I would just like to say thank you to all the staff that look after our son.

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!
