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 48 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 9 funded hours per day, stretched across 48 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 23.8 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.

The staff at Littlebells have been absolutely amazing! Transitioning back to work and sending our little one to nursery was a daunting step, but the team has been incredibly supportive, comforting, and attentive to all our worries. I was concerned that drop-off and pick-up times would feel rushed, but they always dedicate time to discuss routines and give wonderfully detailed handovers at the end of each day.
We love the 'All about me book' and love looking through to see what activities have been done and how much fun he is having!

My son really enjoyed his time at Little Bells. He would speak highly of all the staff there, especially his keyworker Amelia. The great thing about Little Bells is that they are always taking the children out. He went on a bus to Budleigh beach, to the greengrocers, to the library. He caught a train to Exeter. He really enjoyed singing to the residents at a care home.
I would highly recommend Little Bells because they looked after my son with great care.

Building strong, trusting relationships with our children and families is incredibly important to us, so it's wonderful to know he felt so happy and well-supported throughout his journey.

We've been so happy with Axel's nursery. From the moment he started, the staff have been incredibly warm, caring and welcoming, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children.
The best sign for me is seeing how excited Axel is to go in. He literally runs in when we arrive, which says everything! He's settled in so well and seems really happy and confident there.
The staff are fantastic at keeping us updated on how he's getting on, and I feel completely comfortable leaving him knowing he's in such a lovely, nurturing environment. It's been brilliant seeing how much he's learning and developing since starting.
I honestly couldn't ask for more from a nursery and would happily recommend them to other parents.

There's nothing more rewarding for our team than knowing a child feels happy, settled, and excited to come to nursery each day. Hearing that Axel runs through the door when he arrives is the biggest compliment we could receive!
We are passionate about creating a warm, nurturing environment where children can feel safe, confident, and supported as they learn and grow. It's lovely to hear that you've noticed his development and that our regular updates help you feel connected to his nursery journey.
Thank you for your trust, support, and recommendation. We feel privileged to be part of Axel's early years and look forward to watching him continue to thrive at Little Bells.

Choosing Littlebells has honestly been one of the best decisions we've made, not only for our daughter but for us as parents too. We couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.
Choosing Littlebells has honestly been one of the best decisions we've made, not only for our daughter but for us as parents too. We couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.
Since starting at Littlebells, she has come on so much. It's been amazing to see how much her confidence has grown, how many lovely friends she has made, and how much she genuinely enjoys going to nursery. Every member of staff has been so caring, welcoming and wonderful with her, and we couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.
