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.

My two children joined in January when the nursery first opened and all I can say is how happy me and my partner are with the care and learning our children receive. Both children settled well and love going to nursery every day. The staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to talk to me about the children's day, what exciting new skills they have learnt.

Overall I am really happy with the care and learning my son receives.
So pleased my son started here. All of the nursery staff are so patient with him and kind. He has made some lovely friends and definitely has a lot more confidence. He is always happy to go and gets excited to see his new friends.
