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 38 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 38 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 30 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 has been enrolled in Nuffy Bear Medway for eight months now, and in that time we have watched him grow and flourish leaps and bounds! He started just four months after breaking his femur which caused a delay in his physical development, but with the help of the amazing staff he is now confidently walking! We have also seen a huge difference in his communication, language and motor skills, with him coming home each day having learnt something new. The staff are very professional and friendly, and I feel so confident leaving him in their care, as I can tell how much he is cared for by all of them. My son is at a stage where he is very shy in other environments but he always lights up with a smile when we walk in each morning. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to all of my friends and family.
Thank you for your review. I am so glad that you are happy with our service. It is so lovely to observe the development stages that he is quickly mastering now. Amazing!

We looked at several nurseries before deciding on Nuffy Bear and our mind was made up as soon as we walked through the door. The staff are so welcoming, you're invited into the nursery and see what play and learning is happening on a daily basis. The communication is excellent and if like us you are nervous during the transition period, they are always at the end of the phone. Our daughter has flourished in her time at Nuffy Bear, she looks forward to going every day and strides in without looking back; which obviously means she feels very safe and welcomed. The staff are incredibly well qualified and this shows in the feedback and play opportunities they organise each day. I rave about Nuffy Bear to anyone that will listen to me, if you are looking for a nursery make sure you put Nuffy Bear on the list!
We are pleased that you feel welcomed by our team. We strive to continue to provide new and exciting activities each week to enhance the awe and wonder in every child’s imagination. We have so much more planned in the future, so watch this space!

My child started at this nursery in January 2023 and I must say I don't regret my decision. It's been a positive experience since then. The rooms are bright with plenty of toys and equipment for children to play with. It's always clean and tidy which makes me feel assured that my child is in a safe and healthy environment. The staff are friendly, approachable and clearly experienced in working with young children. My child seems to be developing and learning new skills every day. Overall, I will highly recommend Nuffy Bear Nursery at Medway to other patients. It's a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment for young children to learn and grow.

Our son has been attending Nuffy Bear Nursery at Medway for a month now. The nursery staff have been absolutely amazing in supporting him and us with the transition. We love the smaller group size, the settings are very nice and the use of the swimming pool is a great bonus for the children. The nursery staff are brilliant in keeping us up to date and have been very accommodating. Our son loves his new nursery and we feel very confident that he is well looked after there.

My daughter has been at this nursery since October 22 and absolutely loves it there! She always willingly goes into the nursery and has great relationships with both staff and other children to the point where she speaks about them all at home. She has come such a long way in terms of speech, intelligence and confidence and always completes different tasks each day. My daughter also goes outside at least once a day based on myself providing the correct clothing for all weather types which she absolutely loves! She loves being outside and getting some fresh air so this is a huge benefit to her. The staff are also always singing and teaching her new songs. They also eat a great variety of healthy food, with lots of meals included throughout the day (breakfast/snack/lunch/pudding/snack/tea). This is incredible for the amount of money you pay. My child loves it here, I would most definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery. Great value for money!
Thank you for your review. We are pleased with the progress that the children are having here and how confident they are becoming in such a short amount of time.
