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.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. Glad your son is happy at nursery.
Really good nursery. My daughter really enjoys it. No complaints, only one little thing: too many processes - signatures in and out on a morning.
