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.

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.

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.

I love this nursery - all the staff make you feel like you are part of the family. My little boy loves being at nursery, although he needs encouragement to get through the door at first due to his separation anxiety from me but all the staff help to encourage him to enter the room with the least amount of stress.

We were very sad when Sundon Stars closed last year, not knowing if it would open again, but gladly has, and I must say the communication from the staff and the care they take is exceptional. Thank you, and we appreciate the hard work.
