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 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 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.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has just finished her time here, and we are genuinely so sad to be leaving.
From the very beginning, the staff have been so welcoming, caring and supportive. It has always been clear how much they genuinely care about the children, and knowing my daughter was somewhere she felt happy, safe and loved meant everything to us.
We have watched her grow in confidence, independence and personality during her time at the nursery, and so much of that is down to the wonderful teachers who have encouraged and supported her along the way. She has made such lovely memories and friendships that we will always treasure.
Thank you to every member of staff who has played a part in her journey. You have given her such a positive start and created a place that she has genuinely loved going to.
We will miss you all so much and will always look back on her time here with very happy memories.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. This nursery is so much more than a childcare provider-they are truly our extended family.
Having had Sienna since she was a baby, they've guided her through early challenges with walking, cared for her through illnesses, and created an environment where she literally skips into nursery every single morning.
The manager, Amir, is absolute gold. He's helped me personally navigate the financial and administrative side of childcare, going out of his way to educate me on tax savings and better arrangements. The key workers are endlessly supportive, knowledgeable, and always there with a warm smile (or a cuddle for mum when needed!).
We are forever grateful to the whole team. Thank you for loving Sienna as much as we do!
Thank you so much for all the love, care, and support you have given to our child.

My daughter has been with the playhouse nursery since she just turned 2 years old. When she first started she was just a baby and the team at the nursery did an amazing job in settling her and getting her comfortable. Not only did they make my daughter so settled and comfortable they gave me that sense of relief that my child is with people I can trust. They have been there for us in our lowest of moments and supported us more than I can ever imagine they became family to us. The playhouse nursery was the one of the best decisions I ever made for my daughter, they've been so great with my daughter and gave her an amazing experience. They genuinely work with love and care and support, they care deep down about all the children in the nursery and created great relationships with them. My daughter has officially moved up to reception and leaving the staff and nursery was so emotional for both me and my daughter we love them very much! Best nursery ever, choose this nursery for your child!

Ellie was incredibly supportive during the settling-in period and made the transition much easier for both of us. The nursery is very well organised and communication with parents is excellent. Staff update us through the app and also take the time to speak with us at pick-up about our child's day!
All of the staff are warm, caring and attentive. My son absolutely adores them, especially Denisa, who he has formed a lovely bond with. He has also learned so much from Millie, who even teaches the children Spanish!
I also love how the nursery goes the extra mile to celebrate special occasions with lovely activities and arts and crafts for events like Mother's Day. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive environment for their child!
The Playhouse is a fun, safe, clean, well run nursery, and our daughter absolutely loved her time there. The staff are very friendly and caring about what they do, with a wide range of educational activities, games and emotional support for little minds to progress. Great nursery.

I am so thankful to the team who are always honest and open in their communication, whether it's been a great day or a tougher one. They truly respect my choices for my daughter, listen carefully, act on everything I ask and always have time if there is anything I need to speak about.
The soft play area is incredibly well thought out and unlike anything I've seen at other settings. It also allows children to mix with the wider group, which really helps when transitioning between rooms. There is also a low turnover of staff and no bank/temp staff so every single team member (incl. the owner) personally know the children as individuals.
'Feel Like Home' is the nursery's motto, and Amir, Ellie, and the room staff have absolutely brought this to life. I highly recommend the Playhouse Nursery!

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 10 months old and will be leaving for school this in September 2026. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better place for her. The low staff turnover has been so reassuring, with the same kind and familiar faces caring for her and helping her feel secure. The staff provide enjoyable trips and activities and always keep me well informed about her progress. I've always felt comfortable knowing she is happy and well cared for here.

Another great bonus is their soft play area which is quite unique most nurseries don't offer anything like it. It's such a fantastic feature and my daughter absolutely loves it.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

We absolutely love The Playhouse Nursery! Both of my children started when they were just one, and they've truly flourished here. The staff are incredibly caring and genuinely love what they do-it shows in the way they greet, comfort, and celebrate the children every day. There's such a wonderful variety of activities, and the external specialists for extra sessions are a huge bonus. I love how the nursery uses an app to share photos and updates, so I can see their progress and milestones. The food is always fresh and healthy, and the nursery itself is spotless. The soft play area is fantastic-unlike anything I saw elsewhere! I'm so thankful for the warmth and dedication of the whole team; they go above and beyond and make it feel like one big family. I couldn't imagine a better place for my children to grow, learn, and be loved. Highly recommend!

I am also trained in SEND and first aid. I am currently the named Designated Safeguarding Lead.

I am so passionate about the Nursery and ensure all the things we do and provide for the children make every day amazing. My main aim is to provide a home-from-home environment where children will have a safe, friendly and comfortable environment to play & learn in.
