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 daughter is new to the nursery. The staff have been very helpful in settling her in. They are also so friendly and the environment is inviting. I feel no worries leaving my child in their care. I would recommend it to a friend!

My daughter started to go to this nursery from Jan 2022. The nursery is located within the University of East London campus and the waterside walk to the nursery is beautiful. The nursery is also a stone's throw away from Cyprus station, making drop-offs and pickups convenient, if one is going to work by train. My daughter has been at the nursery for 1.5 years now and she absolutely loves it. She is very happy to see her carers every morning and is very cheerful on her way back home. I can see the activities, meals, outdoor play and company of the other children at the nursery are positively contributing to her development. The nursery manager is very approachable and has brought positive changes to the nursery. She and her staff are all very friendly and receptive to suggestions/concerns. My daughter especially is very fond of her carers, who look after her well and provide us with a daily update on her activities. I am happy with the nursery and would highly recommend it.

We feel our boys are very well cared for by all the team who go above and beyond to provide the best care for all children, constant stimulation, play and opportunities to develop all their skills.
We can see how happily they go every morning and the nice interaction they have with all the staff and the manager and we are reassured they are in very good hands.
We very much appreciate all the updates on the app and face to face when we pick them up as well as the weekly photos. It’s so nice to see all the interesting activities they do, how happily they play in the garden and the trips they have.
We would highly recommend UEL Garden Nursery to any family in the area looking for childcare.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents. My little girl started attending in May and she adapted really well. I give all the credit to the teachers in the baby room as they were very supportive and caring all the way through. My little girl has learnt so many new skills since then and she enjoys her time at the nursery.
Great nursery, very nice and cooperative carers, fun activities for the babies, clean environment, variety of food every week. The management are very present and great with communicating too. Truly appreciate all their efforts!

My daughter has been with Children's Garden for a year now, and we couldn't be happier. She is growing and learning whilst having fun. The staff is the most caring and loving towards each and every one of the kids. They promote independence, care and kindness. Messy play, garden play, story time, music time, sensory play, and role play are all activities done on a daily basis. Food is healthy, and self-feeding is encouraged from a young age. My daughter has the opportunity to interact with kids of all ages, which has helped a lot her social skills. As a mum, I have had peace of mind since the first few days there because I know my daughter is in safe hands, she is happy, and she is thriving.

I am impressed with all the activities the children get to do in the nursery, varying from storytelling, messy plays, arts and crafts, local field trips and a lot more. My child is very much enjoying the time in the nursery and learning a lot from the teachers and other peers.
The nursery looks tidy, and the garden outside is nice. I like the fact that the children go outside to play every day in all kinds of weather.
But the most important thing for me is that the staff really seem to care about the children. It gives you confidence your child is in good hands.

The teachers are taking very good care of my girl and they made her settlement easy and smooth.
Both me and my husband are impressed by the quality and detailed feedback we receive from the teachers. This is what we value the most. Even when we do not ask for feedback as we do not want to interrupt the teachers when we pick up my daughter, they come and talk with us.
Also, I love the app, the parent workshops, the photos and updates and how all of the teachers are so transparent with everything that is happening.
Thank you all!
