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 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 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.

My son attends this nursery and he has multiple additional needs, the nursery staff are amazing and go above and beyond to ensure his safety and his time at little legs is fun, safe and happy. My son struggles to maintain relationships outside of home but has formed good strong bonds with his key worker and the senco worker. With their help and support he is starting to expresshimself more, communicate in his own way and join in with other children. I cannot fault the nursery and staff at all. Harry also has multiple dietary restrictions and the nursery staff are very aware of this and put steps in place in any room he is to ensure he doesn't come in contact with anything that will trigger his allergies. They have also had to treat him the past and were quick to notice a reaction, treat and contact me.

My son started at Little Legs when he was ten months old, he is now three and a half. As soon as we walked in the door we knew this was the nursery for us, and we have never looked back. The staff are wonderful, my son loves coming in each day and gets so excited just at the thought of going to see the girls and his friends. He has delayed speech and the support and help we have received from Little Legs has been amazing. Everyone there has always been so kind and thoughtful, making birthday cards for my son to bring home, setting up games they know he will enjoy, and making such a fuss of him, which he absolutely loves. He has such confidence and I know that attending this nursery has helped him so much. They upload pictures onto the app regularly so we can see what he's doing and what progress he is making, and always give thorough and positive handovers at pick up time. Brilliant nursery, wonderful staff.

My son has been attending Little Legs since March 2018, he was 9 months when he started and he is 4 years old next month. He absolutely loves attending nursery and always comes out happy. He has Special Educational Needs and the staff and nursery Special Educational Needs Coordinator look after him and meet his needs so amazingly well I cannot fault them. He has a very good connection with his key person and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator as well as the nursery manager and other staff. The support he has been given over the years has been second to none. The nursery itself is a very welcoming, clean and nurturing environment for the children. Fresh home-cooked meals are provided and there is a good variety of food available.

My daughter, nearly 3-years-old now, started attending Little Legs from 8-months-old and has had a fantastic experience. Her key worker, with her in the baby room, is still there and my daughter talks about the staff fondly. As a parent, I have always found the nursery and staff flexible and friendly. My daughter suffers from eczema and the nursery has always supported in applying cream and ensuring it is monitored. I enjoy hearing feedback as to her development both via the app and during pick up and drop off and feel that my daughter has benefited from attending and her development (i.e. socially, speech, potty training etc.). The main thing for me is that my daughter loves attending and gets excited to go, waves me off as she skips through the door. Thank you to the team at Little Legs.
My boy changed nursery over a year ago, and although there was some upset on change over, it did not last long and he has been happy ever since. He is always happy to go into the nursery (sometimes not even properly saying goodbye because he is so eager). More importantly, he is smiling when I...
I would recommend this nursery.
Little Legs have been absolutely fantastic with my son since he started 2 years ago, all of the staff are so friendly and lovely and my son will certainly miss them all now he starts big school. I highly recommend Little Legs to anyone, you won't be disappointed.

My son has been going for almost a year now, and he is really happy to go. Also comes out smiling showing he has had a good day. The staff are always available to discuss anything with you, really friendly and have been so helpful when needed.

My son has been attending for two years now (since nine months old) and his little sister has recently joined him (one year old). He has loved it since day one, always happy to go and enjoying many different activities. The staff are always so friendly and helpful and so engaged with the children and happy to take the time to discuss progress or any issues. There have been staff changes over the time we've been using the nursery but these have always been communicated and well managed. My son has come on so much since he started nursery and they have been great working with us e.g. as a full time attendee having nursery support on potty training was key if he was going to succeed with him needing to be supported at nursery as well as at home. I love to see their record books as they show how much they are achieving and what they've been doing.

My eldest son has been at Little Legs Nursery for over a year now, when he first started he got extremely upset and didn't want to go but slowly over time and with a lot of help and interaction from the staff he now enjoys nursery and wants to go. He has some issues which the nursery have been excellent at dealing with and supporting him which will give him an excellent start when he attends school. My youngest son is now just starting and is excited to go as he sees how happy his brother is, again my youngest son also has some issues and I have no doubt the nursery will again be excellent in supporting both him and our family. The staff are lovely and friendly even when a little stressed in the chaos of childcare! Thank you for all your hard work over the past year and all you have taught my son and all you will teach the pair of them!
