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 48 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 9 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.

I am very happy with this facility. My daughter loves coming here; she has grown very fond of the place and all the staff. For me, the most wonderful thing is seeing how happy my child is there and how she forms new friendships. There's creative play, dancing-everything that children love.
