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 applies funded hours during term time only. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 6 funded hours per day, used only during term time. With your selected funding, 18 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.

They do send kids to play outside all the time though. Sometimes it's not a good idea as it can be cold and kids fall ill. But they say it's better for them.

It has only been a few days since my daughter started nursery, but we are already so happy with how well she has settled in. She goes happily every day and absolutely adores all the staff members. She feels so comfortable and welcomed there.
What makes us even happier is that she talks about nursery at home too, says she misses it, and looks forward to going again the next day! As parents, it is such a lovely feeling to see her so happy and excited about nursery. We also really appreciate the daily updates about her day, along with the pictures and milestone updates. It is wonderful to see what she has been doing and how much she is learning and developing.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making her first experience so positive and enjoyable.

As a parent of a child with allergies, I have felt my daughter is always well cared for. The staff go out of their way to ensure my daughter can be included in cooking activities in a safe way.
Sundon Stars really is a lovely setting and my daughter will be sad to be leaving in July to go to 'big school'.
This nursery is a lovely place for children. The staff are kind, caring and always helpful. My child feels happy and safe here. The nursery is clean, well-organised, and welcoming. The activities are fun and help children grow and develop.

The app is a MUST for all nurseries to keep parents informed and updated at all times and also provides a clear communication portal for anxious parents. The staff here are great, friendly approachable and on the ball at all times i would never send my child anywhere else or any subsequent children that i have.

Our son has struggled with social anxiety, and we were really concerned about how he would transition to full-time care in a setting such as this one, but I am very pleased to say that the team at Sundown Stars have been instrumental in the growth of our son's social abilities.
The rapport they have built with our son is wonderful to see; he has a great deal of love for each of them, which is high praise in our book.
The setting is clean and tidy, with separated areas for play, reading, quiet time, eating etc. Outdoor facilities are great, with the setting recently investing in new play equipment for the children, which our son loves. The team have arranged for coaches to attend to run exercise/games sessions too.
I honestly cannot rate this setting highly enough or thank the team enough for the great work they do with our son and all of the children they care for.
Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication and patience to the children, and for keeping personal belongings in order (toys, clothes), helping with potty training, caring when they were not feeling well, making everyday a fun environment to go to, which was also very...
I would highly recommend Sundon Stars Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in the area, and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

My experience in this nursery has been very good because it has very good workers and very caring teachers, and my daughter is very well-groomed. It has all kinds of facilities and it has a very good lunch, etc, and the study conditions are also very good.
