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.

My little boy has loved going to nursery since the day he started. All the staff are so kind and friendly and always have your child best interest at heart. He loves the messy play, dancing and singing and playing outside, and has learnt so much from being there.

Both my daughters have enjoyed their time at Ashbourne Nursery. The staff are really friendly and polite. There is plenty for the children to do. Both my girls have developed well, especially their social skills. Being a smaller nursery just means children get more of a 1:1 support which is invaluable.
This feedback is so lovely to hear. The team are delighted.
Great care at Ashbourne, cannot fault them, and my child is very happy there.

My daughter has been going to Ashbourne since Jan 2020. She loves it they have taught her so much from how to put her coat on the superhero way to what bees do. She will be very sad to leave next month. I would high recommend Ashbourne and the staff.

Came to collect my granddaughter from the nursery, lovely place, very friendly staff and a shout out to one staff member in particular who is very pleasant and professional and approachable, I like the fact that food provided is healthy, nutritious and varied frequently, the play areas are all carefully thought out and prepared.

My daughter began settling in sessions at the beginning of January and has since started full time and the whole time we have been nothing but happy with the service. The staff are friendly and polite and my daughter leaves me with ease which makes me go about my working day better. She has already developed so much since starting and it’s all down to the baby room staff.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your lovely review.
Lovely intimate little nursery. My little boy became so shy over lockdown and would cry anytime a stranger spoke to us. So we chose a smaller nursery as to not overwhelm him.

Lovely intimate little nursery. My little boy became so shy over lockdown and would cry anytime a stranger spoke to us. So we chose a smaller nursery as to not overwhelm him. He started attending Ashbourne in October and settled within a couple of weeks. He loves going to school now and has really come out of his shell. He adores his key workers and is excited to go every week. He's learnt so much over the last few months and has caught up on things he missed out on. We couldn't be happier with this nursery and everyone there!
We really enjoy reading the lovely feedback we receive. Thank you.

My granddaughter has just started this nursery. She is 8 months old and a baby who hasn’t experienced much socialisation due to covid lockdowns. I can only thank the staff especially the deputy manager for the kind and thoughtful reassurance they gave me when I collected my granddaughter. She came out happy and content and was happy to return the next day. As a grandparent who perhaps worries a little too much I have no hesitation in leaving her now she obviously is well looked after. Staff are happy to answer any questions and I will definitely recommend them.

He is often singing nursery rhymes that he's learnt and talks about nursery a lot. I love the variety of activities and that their environment feels relaxed. It's lovely.
I do think there needs to be investment (more than there has been) in outside space and aesthetically it lacks character but fundamentally all of the components are there for a happy experience.

Ashbourne has been a fantastic nursery. They have excelled on a professional and personal level. My son has a lot of special educational needs and Ashbourne have gone above and beyond to not only make sure our son's needs are met but also that we as parents are happy with is care. After having 5 children come through this preschool I couldn't recommend them enough. Brilliant staff, play areas and setting for all ages and different needs of children.
Always reassure both myself and her and give her lots of cuddles whenever she needs them. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming every morning.

A friendly and supportive nursery with excellent staff. Well presented playroom with lots of space. The staff are helpful and great with the children who are so happy to come each day that they don't want to leave.
