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 is a sensitive child and spent his first two and a half years with me. I was very worried about the settling in period but to everyone’s surprise, after two sessions, he was ready to stay and one week after he just waved me off! The ladies seem very caring and they all know the children very well. My son is happy there and we are delighted with the nursery. The food looks delicious and all cooked fresh daily by their own chef in their very own kitchen. The whole nursery is new and it has been refurbished beautifully. I like that all rooms have outside space plus the children use the biggest garden to do PE every Thursday which my son loves. We are so happy to find this nursery and although my son was on the waiting list for another nursery, once we came to visit we both felt we had found the one. Highly recommend it to anyone!
I love that when I speak to staff I feel as though my little boy is special to them. Definitely a home away from home.
