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 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 9.5 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.

Our son ADORES this nursery. The staff are beyond wonderful. They tailor the learning within the setting to cater for the passions of the children - knowing how much my son loved using the school camera they set a lovely task to take Autumn photos, and when he was obsessed with Super Heros they ended up all making a 'Super Hero Training Course'!
The Nursery is set within wonderful grounds and the staff make full use of the park and surrounding area.
I also love the fact that the Nursery is part of the larger Primary school. The children benefit from specialist teaching in PE, music and even Spanish! I think this will make his transition to Primary school much easier.
I really feel the staff know my son, they get him and care for him in such a genuine way - I honestly couldn't ask for more.
We only have positive words to say about Cambridge International School nursery and staff. Already recruited some friends of ours to join with their kids.
