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.

All of the staff have been so lovely, caring and supportive over the years, and we've always felt like he was genuinely cared for and known as an individual. He's made so many lovely memories and friendships there and has had such a great bond with the staff. There have been times where we have had concerns or things we needed support with, which were dealt with as soon as possible after raising them.
A massive thank you to everyone who has looked after him over the last 4 years. We're definitely sad to leave, but we're so grateful for everything you've done for him.
From my daughter's very first day at Hampstead Gate at just one year old, through to her final weeks at four and a half, she has loved every moment and truly thrived. She has had so much fun, learned an incredible amount, and despite the initial parental worries about her being in full-time...
It has been wonderful to watch the friendships she has built, not only with the other children but also with the staff. This is a true reflection of how caring, attentive, and supportive the team are.
We cannot thank everyone enough for the positive impact they have had on her early years. While we will be sad to say goodbye, we know she has been given the absolute best guidance, encouragement, and support to prepare her for starting school. We are incredibly grateful to the whole team at Hampstead Gate.
My little boy has been attending sinse he was 11 months old, I had a few concerns regarding his development and the amount he has exelled is fantastic!

My little boy has been attending sinse he was 11 months old, I had a few concerns regarding his development and the amount he has exelled is fantastic! The food is great, he absolutely loves everything. The staff and management have really supported not only my boy myself as a first time single mum who has faced a lot of home challenges. I could not have wished for a better first nursery for my boy!

The staff at Hampstead Gate are so wonderful. My son and I are always greeted with a welcoming smile at reception, and then again as we walk past the lovely kitchen staff. Every anxiety I have brought to the team (as a new mum) has been reassured and supported. The rooms we have experienced have been full of love and fun, and show a thoughtfulness behind provision and opportunities to learn. At yesterday's pickup I walked into a dance party - exactly what my son needs while learning how to jump! I feel like we're getting everything we need, so thank you!
I couldn't be happier with our son's experience at this nursery. From day one, the staff have been absolutely brilliant.They are incredibly attentive, truly listen to everything I say, and always take my concerns or feedback seriously. It's such a relief to know that their safeguarding practices...
Beyond the professionalism, it's clear how much they genuinely care for the children. They are so warm and nurturing, and it's lovely to see how much our son loves spending time with them. I couldn't recommend them enough!
She joined the nursery as an eight-month-old baby (in caterpillars), and when she leaves in the next few weeks, she will be three and half years old - a confident, joyous little girl shaped so beautifully by your kindness, patience and guidance. You have been a constant, reassuring presence in her...
As she begins her transition over the next few weeks, we are already feeling the emotions of this change. These final weeks feel especially meaningful, giving her time to enjoy the familiar routines, the friendships she treasures, and the teachers she adores. We are grateful she gets to complete this chapter surrounded by the people who have nurtured her with such dedication.
Hampstead Gate will always hold a very special place in our hearts as her very first school and the foundation of her learning journey.
Thank you for helping her blossom into the confident little girl she is today.
My daughter started nursery this year and I can already see how much nursery has helped her grow. The staff are kind and patient and i am extremely grateful for there help with my daughter's transition into the nursery.

My son really enjoys his time at the nursery! I have seen him develop a huge amount from attending - he has learnt a lot of words, numbers and songs. It feels a good place for him to be and he has lots of lovely friends there

Our son attended Hampstead Gate Day Nursery for several years, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Every morning we were greeted with smiles at reception, and that friendly, positive...
Communication was always spot on - we received regular updates and felt completely comfortable raising any questions or concerns. The team were open, supportive, and clearly invested in our son's development. It was obvious they were going above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and thriving.
The care was exceptional. We always felt reassured knowing he was in such good hands, and he genuinely enjoyed being there - which says a lot! The menu had a great variety for vegetarians, and it was a lovely bonus that the meat served was halal.
We're so grateful to everyone at Hampstead Gate Day Nursery for everything they've done for our son.

The communication with parents is excellent - we always feel informed about routines, meals, learning activities and progress. The environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging toys and learning materials. We also love how much time is spent outdoors and the variety of activities planned each week.

Our eldest daughter is in her last few weeks of her time at Hampstead Gate having moved from another child base nursery in 2023. The move was the best decision we made as the care, support and environment provided at Hampstead Gate has been nothing short of excellent. All staff members are very friendly and have a wonderful approach with all children. Would highly recommend.

My son is full time there since he was 18 months and he absolutely loves it. I went for a tour to appx 10 nurseries before picking Hampstead Gate and never second guessed it. Their kitchen, meal options and ingredients are amazing. The staff is caring and trustworthy. My son's communication and overall skills have boomed.
What I also love about this nursery is that is still child led, while offering a lot of activities and learning. Their outdoor area is big and well maintained. We're very happy and definitely recommending it. I was anxious about making the right choice, so this means a lot to me.

My little boy started at Hampstead Gate at 11 months and is absolutely thriving! He is so happy to go to nursery and gets very excited when his bag is put out ready. The staff really care about the children and go above and beyond to ensure both children and parents are comfortable and happy. In particular, his key worker has been wonderful at supporting him and us to settle into nursery and has really formed a bond with him. He is just transitioning rooms and the process has been so smooth and reassuring and he already loves it. His development has been amazing since he started and his confidence has grown so much. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send him to Hampstead Gate and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a kind, nurturing and fun setting for their little ones!
This is my second child to come with the girls and I couldn't pick a better place. I have known some of the ladies for years and it has been lovely to see them have my son, to now having my daughter 9 years on. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

Excellent, couldn't find a fault with the care they provide. The practitioners genuinely care for the children and we feel like they have become friends with us too. Our little boy loves coming to nursery.
