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 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.

Starting nursery can be such a worrying time as a parent, but they made the whole process so much easier for both me and my son. They kept me updated, gave him lots of attention and made sure he was settled at his own pace without ever making him feel rushed. It was so lovely seeing how quickly he started to feel comfortable with the staff and his new surroundings. You can really tell that they genuinely care about the children and want them to feel safe, happy and loved. A massive thank you to all the staff for being so amazing during his settling sessions. It has given me so much confidence knowing he is in such good hands.

Our son is always happy going into nursery and coming home. He eats and naps well, and it is clear he feels safe and supported. We particularly appreciated the personalised approach when he wasn't developing quite as expected. The team worked closely with us and he is now flourishing.
When I was concerned about his transition to a new room, the nursery listened to my worries and worked with me to ensure the move was gradual and in line with my wishes.
The staff's commitment to continuous professional development is evident, as is their happiness and pride in the setting. This is reflected in the environment, presentation, and excellent resources available to the children. We would highly recommend Ashbourne to other families.

Since starting, I've seen such a difference in her. She's become so much more confident and has developed so many new skills. It's been amazing to watch her grow and flourish.
The staff are so lovely, accommodating and genuinely caring. The communication from her teachers on the app is honestly top notch - they're always keeping us updated with pictures and taking the time to speak to us at the end of the day or commenting on posts which means so much.
I love how they send home activities for us to do together, so there's continuity in her learning and we can be involved in what she's doing at nursery.
The nursery/ staff have made such a positive impact on our daughter's development, and we so grateful we chose this nursery. I would choose it again and again.

Every time I pick up my niece, she's smiling, full of stories, and eager to show off what she's learned. Whether it's a new song, a craft project, or a new word, I can see her development progressing in the best possible way. The nursery provides a nurturing environment that's both safe and stimulating, and the balance between learning and play is just right.
The staff keeps us updated with regular photos, notes, and reports, which I really appreciate as a family member who's involved but not there every day. It gives us insight into her day and reassures us that she's in the best hands.

Excellent and friendly staff who genuinely show care. My son started with the nursery at 3 months old and now he just turned 2 years. It's been an amazing experience and I know the future years at the nursery will be more exciting. My son has developed a lot and continues to develop because of the excellent expertise the staff has. The staff is always happy and they take the time to know you as the parent when you drop off or pick up your child. They genuinely care. Most of the staff work overtime to ensure that the children come to a clean environment to play and learn.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. The team are delighted to hear such wonderful feedback.
Really friendly team. My baby is really happy there. They keep up to date with everything and make the transition so easy and calm. Good variety of food and activities. 1st-time mum so found it really hard to leave my little one but I wouldn’t leave her now with anyone else.

Lovely setting and with a friendly and caring team supporting my child’s learning developments. My little one is so excited to arrive at nursery everyday and runs in for big cuddles with the staff. I always feel confident and happy to leave her there and on collection she can’t wait to tell me what she’s done and who she’s played with. Excellent feedback from staff, keeping me up to speed on her daily progress. Couldn’t have hoped for a better place to care for my little one.

My twins started here in April at 22 months. After spending so much time together with lockdowns I was very nervous/anxious about leaving them. By the second day that changed, I realised how wonderful it was for them, how much they already loved it and continue to do so. They look forward to going. Always smiling when I drop them and pick them up. Their development is really coming along too. The staff are fantastic and very friendly. Really put me at ease when I was nervous about leaving them. The twins run in, I’m lucky to get a kiss goodbye! Brilliant lunches and snacks too. My daughter often has seconds! Highly, highly recommend.

My son visits this nursery 5-days a week and really enjoys his time there. He has learned lots of new skills when it comes to learning new things. Most of all, he seems very happy and content. Also, the staff are very welcoming and friendly! Would recommend this nursery.
