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.

My daughter started here the beginning of term in September, and was a really shy girl. It is not too long into the term now, and she has already come out of her shell. She now knows how to make friends properly, is confident, tells me and her family members about the day she has, and goes in and comes out with a smile. I feel at ease with her being here - the staff are all really friendly, welcoming and easy to talk to and all care for the children to a really high standard. The days vary and the kids are always kept busy which is really ideal! She loves the mud kitchen and forest school too. Communication is great with the reception and all staff , I honestly could not be happier with everything.
She has learnt so much in such a small time and gained so much more confidence. We are all so excited for her to continue her pre-school journey!

My grand daughter left Kids Time in July after 3 great years, where she was happy and developed so well that she has settled straight into school. All the staff during the 3 years were excellent and showed genuine empathy. They helped her educational development and we valued the reviews. She enjoyed the outdoor play, which was encouraged. There was always a calm and friendly atmosphere when we arrived and she settled straight into the class. We appreciated the information which we received. Kids Time has been a positive and constructive part of her life and I recommend it to any parent, guardian or grandparent.

We have been so impressed with the care and attention our son has received at this nursery. The teachers are truly amazing-always happy, smiley and welcoming- which has made a huge difference in how our son feels about going to school. Unlike his previous nursery, where he often felt upset and didn't want to attend, here he looks forward to his mornings and enjoys being with his friends. We also noticed great progress in his English skills, which has boosted his confidence not only in speaking but also in interacting with other children and people. He is noticeable more confident within himself, which has been wonderful to see. The positive and nurturing environment has clearly helped him thrive. We're very grateful to the entire team for making this such a wonderful experience for our son. I highly recommend this nursery!

Kids-Time is a family member for my little one. She started nursery at Kids-Time when she was 2 years old. Then she joined there again for afterschool club since the primary school reception. Kids-Time provides the collection from the school and have a good relationship with her school. I have appreciated the service Kids-Time provides for the single mums like me. My daughter enjoys the food there and still remembers the trip Kids-Time arranged to the zoo and China Town. Staff are very kind and easy to talk. They sometimes organise the parents' coffee time which is very helpful.

Kids- Time has been a great place for our son to learn, get used to playing with other children his own age, and experience new places and develop skills.
The staff are always friendly, keep us up to date on the day's events and any unexpected occurrences via the app, and hand him back at the end of the day with a good verbal summary of what they've been doing.
They give him three meals during the 10-hour day with an excellent menu from the on-site chef and kitchen, there are a good range of indoor and outdoor facilities for different activities each day as well as trips out to local parks or museums, and they are always evaluating and upgrading their equipment and services as they go, currently a big refurbishment has just started!
There are very flexible options for what care is available for a good range of ages, for as many days as you want to pay for, including holiday time, and good integration with childcare funding schemes to split costs.

Each time we press the buzzer and walk in through the entrance door we are always greeted with a hello and a smile. And staff saying the child's name, no matter what their role is, each member of staff are very approachable even during their busiest times, to talk to about any solutions, or issues or even just a general chat on leaving. They have a team for Special Educational Needs, which has been excellent in all areas for my grandchild's learning development. Kids-Time have a brilliant App, Where we can read the weekly updates explaining the topics of all learning activities throughout each day. And photographs to back this up is great to see. We receive monthly updates of what is coming next. It's a great way to communicate directly with the nursery and vice versa (even before opening hours) EG; to inform them about a day off. Stay & Play is a fabulous way for all carers/parents to be involved, it's truly a wonderful place for my grandchild's start in Early Years!

My Daughter has attended Kids Time since she was 10 months old. She initially struggled to adjust as she wasn't use to being away from me but every member of staff worked their magic to help her settle in and she has thrived ever since! She is now 3 and loves going to nursery everyday. As she has worked her way up through the rooms she has gained so many skills and achievements that wouldn't have been possible without the amazing team at Kids Time. We will both be very sad to leave everyone when she starts school next September but can't thank them enough for giving her the most amazing start to her education.

One standout feature is the SENCO support , who has been exceptional in supporting children with special educational needs. Their dedication and understanding have made a world of difference for our child, ensuring that every child's unique needs are met with compassion and skill. The staff at Kids Time Nursery are truly fantastic! They are not only friendly and approachable but also incredibly professional. Each member of the team is committed to providing a nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe and valued. It's clear that they genuinely care about the well-being and development of every child.
Overall, Kids Time Nursery is a wonderful place for children to grow, learn, and thrive.

Excellent nursery! All staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. They went extra mile providing extra settling days for my children to make sure they were ready for their full days spent at nursery.

Excellent nursery! All staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. They went extra mile providing extra settling days for my children to make sure they were ready for their full days spent at nursery. Communication is on top level, either through the app or face to face at the time of dropping children or at handover when picking them up. The nursery is spacious indoor and outdoor as well, with plenty of play area.
The nursery is very well organised. They really thought every single detail through.

Brilliant nursery, I moved my youngest here when I had problems with her other nursery. My eldest was already here for after school club and we've never looked back! Everything has been so positive from day 1, the staff are so welcoming and they do great activities and trips. Both my girls use holiday club and after school club now, and I love the flexibility which makes being a working parent so much easier! I've had to change days quite a few times over the years due to work, and nothing has ever been an issue. My girls are happy and make great bonds with the staff even though they're older now. My main thing with any setting is safeguarding of the children and they excel here - secure building and garden, very on it with procedures and policies.
Would recommend to anyone, either for daycare or wraparound. It will be a sad day when my children get too big for Kids Time!

Hi, I’m Olivia, the Centre Lead and Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) at Kids-Time!
I have worked in Early Years since 2016, starting my journey as an apprentice and working my way up through the years. During this time, I have gained valuable knowledge, skills and experience which have helped me grow both personally and professionally within the sector.
The thing I enjoy most about working with children is being part of such an important stage in their lives. I love creating positive experiences, supporting their learning and development, and helping them build the confidence and skills they need for the future. It is so rewarding to watch children grow, reach new milestones and develop into their own unique little personalities.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors walking my two dogs and training them in various dog sports. I also love travelling and exploring new places, making memories and experiencing new adventures along the way!
I’m passionate about providing children with a safe, happy, and nurturing environment where they feel valued, supported and excited to learn.

My name is Jessica, and I am the Assistant Centre Lead at Kids-Time.
I have worked in Early Years for almost 10 years, entirely with Kids-Time. I began my career here as an apprentice, completed my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications, and am currently working toward my Level 5. Through this journey, I have gained extensive knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience in the field.
My favourite part of working with children is supporting their development, watching them grow and learn, and building strong relationships with their families. I am particularly passionate about child development and have a strong interest in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Outside of work, I have a young son and love spending time with him, travelling to new places, and spending quality time with my friends and family.

Hello, my name is Linda.
I started my working career as a Travel Agent before moving into Admin roles. I have been the morning Administrator at Kids-Time for the past 3 and a half years.
The best part of my job is following a child’s journey from their very 1st day. It’s a real joy to watch the children grow into happy, independent and confident individuals. I love getting to know all of our families.
Outside of work, I have been married to Phil for almost 10 years. I have a grown-up son, step-son, step-daughter and 3 wonderful grandchildren. I enjoy socialising, travelling and reading, especially crime novels.
Many thanks

Hello, my name is Sue. I am an Administrator here at Kids-Time.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have been married to Steve for 8 years, and I have a grown-up daughter, Laura, a grown-up son, Ryan and a wonderful Grandson who lights up our lives. I love meeting up with family and friends, watching a gripping true crime documentary, and taking our toy Labradoodle, Indi, for a walk around parks.
I have been working in Early Years for nearly 40 years! I have worked in various roles from teaching assistant to nursery manager and lots of roles in between. I have lots of experience working with children and families, especially in Wythenshawe. I love meeting our children for the first time and watching them grow not only developmentally but also in confidence, becoming little characters of their own.
I joined Kids-Time in 2011, having previously worked for Manchester City Council for 11 years. I love being supportive to everyone, children, staff and all our parents and carers. I also hold my Level 5 Diploma in Early Years Childhood Studies.
Working in the childcare sector and helping others has always been my passion, and I feel it's been an honour and a privilege to work at Kids-Time, and I hope to continue to inspire and support for many more years to come.
I look forward to meeting you.
