About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- 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 was really nervous about sending my son to nursery, especially as he started at just eleven months old, earlier than I'd originally planned. But Ocean Day Nursery made the whole journey so easy for me. The staff couldn't be more friendly, accommodating, supportive, and reassuring.
I was also honestly surprised by the outdoor space. The nursery's on an industrial estate, so I wasn't expecting much, but their garden area is genuinely lovely, and they go in the garden daily. They keep me updated throughout the day, and the activities are lovely, with different themes each week. There is also a wide variety of toys. My son is absolutely thriving there. All the children seem so happy and confident, and he's developing really well. He's never once cried going in or coming out, which says everything about how comfortable he feels. I honestly can't recommend Ocean Day Nursery highly enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review! We completely understand how daunting it can feel leaving your little one at nursery, especially when they're still so young, so it means so much to hear that we were able to make that transition easier and reassuring for you. Your kind words and trust means so much to us.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Our daughter has been with ocean day from 9 months old and is now 2. I cannot speak highly enough for the team there. They go above and beyond for us as a family and do whatever they can to accommodate requests. Our daughter has thrived in their setting and asks to go on her days off- if we've ever had concerns or questions we've been made to feel comfortable to ask/ make requests. The bonus of time in mambos has noticeable improved our little girls physicality and it is something commented on regularly by friends and family.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Our little boy loves Ocean Day. The staff are lovely, very helpful and our little one is always talking about them. He's made lots of friends, they give them lots of activities throughout the day and the app is great too. Would thoroughly recommend!

Choosing a nursery for your child is such a big decision, but I genuinely don't have a single regret about choosing Ocean Day for my son. From day one, every member of staff has been so kind, supportive and welcoming. He absolutely loves nursery and talks about the staff all the time when he gets home - even our family know each of them by name because of how often he mentions them!
The support they've given him has been incredible, particularly with encouraging his speech and language development. They really take the time to get to know each child as an individual. Once they realised he had a huge interest in numbers and space, they arranged one-to-one activities to encourage and develop those interests further.
Seeing people genuinely invest time into what your child loves means so much as a parent.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
We are extremely happy with this nursery that our son attends and couldn't recommend it more highly. He's been at the nursery since he was 7 months and is due to go up to school nursery in September aged 4, The setting is warm, welcoming, and provides an excellent environment for children to learn,...
Our daughter also attended this nursery, and the wonderful experience we had with her was one of the main reasons we chose to enrol our son here as well.

From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They have created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where our son has grown in confidence, developed new skills, and made wonderful friendships. It's been amazing to see how much he has learned and how excited he is to go to nursery each day.
The team always keeps us updated on his progress and takes the time to make every child feel valued and supported. Their dedication, patience, and enthusiasm really shine through in everything they do.
We are so grateful for everything Ocean Day Nursery has done for our son over the past two years. We highly recommend them to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and supportive nursery where children can truly thrive.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are pleased to hear that your son enjoys his time at Ocean Day Nursery. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
My boy has been staying with Ocean Day Nursery since 12/2021 and he seems happy to stay and play for all day. All the girls are very nice and friendly, and the policies in nursery are comprehensive which ensures me that my child will have a safe place to stay while I am away.

My son has attended Ocean Day Nursery for approximately 6 months and both he and I have had a very positive experience. I am sent photos during the day of what things he has been up to including his much loved trips into the soft play centre next door. At the end of the day I will often be given crafts that he has created whilst there. He is always happy to attend and comes out each day smiling.
My experience was amazing because the staff were impeccable and very welcoming to my child. My child has lots of fun doing activities in the nusery.The staff take care of my child excellently and call me if there are any problems.

My son loves everyone at the nursery. It’s a pleasure to see him growing and nurturing. They pick him up from the car in the morning it’s great! He’s always so happy going there and hard to get him home sometimes.

This is a great place, it's an excellent nursery and I would recommend them to anyone looking to place a child. They are always well staffed with highly qualified and experienced carers and plenty of activities for the children.

The nursery is always clean and tidy even after a full day of children being there.
They have also been extremely flexible with our ever-changing schedule and during my son's first month when he was unwell for quite a few weeks.
To top it all off, I love receiving photos throughout the day of my little one playing etc.
I couldn't find a better nursery, knowledgeable, kind and lovely staff. Great nutrition, great security, love having my baby written to me all day. We are happy to be in this nursery. Great outdoor space.

Having had 2 other children who had been in other private nurseries as babies, Ocean Day Nursery is by far the best. My son loves it here. I always get pictures and message updates throughout the day. His daily activities and food he has is written down without fail. All of the staff are polite and approachable and I only ever have positive things to say when asked where my son attends whilst I work. Very happy and relieved mum.
She always has a smile on her face when I collect her which shows just how much fun she has been having.
