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 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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.

Review from S R (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Our son joined this nursery as he turned 1 and we have only just left due to a nursery opening closer to home. We've been through the last agency with them and change of managers. The new manager, Delia, and her team have been brilliant. They were always available if we needed to speak to them and greeted our son at the door with a smile everyday, no matter what. He loved going in and would always talk about what/who he'd played with.

Overall Experience

My baby girl was just 3 month old when she started and so far we had a great experience. Everyone has been truly amazing.
From working with us regarding our wishes re feeding, nap times etc. to getting new toys in that are suitable for her young age.
There is loads of sensory play trays with sand, foam etc. that allow kids to explore and get their hands dirty.
My young joined a group of a bit older than herself babies and I was very impressed seeing how the young are being thought table manners and hygiene like washing hands before meals.

It's been lovely seeing pictures from her daily play and getting updates on the app.

Overall Experience

I was really nervous about sending my son to nursery as he's my first, but I honestly didn't need to worry at all. The staff in the baby room have been amazing, so kind, caring, and welcoming. My little boy has settled in really well, even though he still struggles a bit with drop-off some mornings! The staff are fantastic with him and always reassure me that he's absolutely fine once I leave, which really helps put my mind at ease. It's clear how much they care about each child. They're also great at keeping the app updated with everything from meals to nappy changes! I couldn't have asked for a better nursery, the staff really go above and beyond.

Overall Experience

Such an amazing nursery. The staff give 110% if not more :)
My child's well being is always important to them. They know my child so well. They pay attention to her likes and dislikes.
My child doesn't like to be away from me and the only place she will leave me is to go to nursery. To me this shows how caring the staff are.

A massive shout out to the three ladies for always making sure she has an amazing day!

Overall Experience

My two little girls have just joined Ashbourne Day Nursery in Fenny Stratford which was a big change for all of us. Due to personal circumstances, I needed to get the girls into a nursery asap and the staff were so accommodating and got it sorted for us. The girls are still settling but all the ladies are fantastic and make me feel super comfortable dropping them off. A special shout out to one lady for dealing with my clingy precious girl! All the staff members have been great and so easy to talk to. Thanks for making the process as comfortable as it can be :) and for dealing with my tears!

Review from J K (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2025 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Management at this nursery is incredibly unprofessional and a major disappointment.
When I raised concerns with a senior manager, she repeatedly spoke over me, seemingly to avoid hearing what I was saying. It became so frustrating that we had to report the incident to Ofsted so they could review the call. She would go completely silent when I paused, only to immediately talk over me the moment I started speaking again, almost as if it were a game. Her behaviour was immature, like that of a young teenager than a professional responsible for managing a childcare facility.
This kind of dismissive and childish approach is deeply concerning, especially when dealing with parents who have serious concerns. We have been left with unanswered questions and feel completely disregarded. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to remove our child from this nursery and its chain altogether.

The management's attitude can only be described as "hear no, see no", which is unacceptable.

It is an amazing place for kids to learn play and have a good time. My two boys have been going there since very little( one is now at school already another still enjoying his time in Ashbourne). The staff is very friendly and helpful with everything. It's not easy to leave your little one in someone else's care but I know they are safe and happy there. Can highly recommend this place!

My son attended this nursery for nearly 2 years and I must say his speech wasn't the best. But ever since going, he really improved and got a lot of help with the staff.

Review from Babs H (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2024 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

My daughter has just finished her time at Ashbourne Day Nurseries Fenny Stratford to go into reception year at first school. And I can honestly say that the amazing journey she's had at Ashbourne has completely prepared her for the next step in her education. Ashbourne was my daughter's nursery provider from 7 months old, and they have cared for, taught, nutured, and helped her grow. The staff are fantastic, and always make the effort to make more personal relationships with the parents. The learning is set out very clearly, and there are updates about the children's activities and what they eaten for lunch etc, made several times each day. A safe environment, with safe spaces. The 3 and a half years my daughter spent at Asbourne Fenny Stratford have been remarkable, and I can't thank the staff enough. Highly recommended to all parents looking for early years care.

Overall Experience

My child has been with this nursery for the last six months and the admissions process was very informative and my child settled in without any problems. The staff are always happy and on hand to help and give sufficient feedback on collection. My son would cry to go nursery on the days he was off and I have seen a great positive impact on his development. This nursery is very easygoing and efficient and caters to each family's needs. A heartfelt thank you to the nursery manager and the rest of the team who are amazing at what they do. When collecting my child I have seen every child leave the nursery happy.
