Children at Pippa’s House Ash Vale benefit from a well-sequenced early years curriculum with a strong focus on communication and language development. The nursery team uses creative, play-based activities—such as cooking, storytelling, and outdoor exploration—to build confidence, curiosity, and independence. A dedicated sensory room supports emotional regulation and wellbeing, while the nursery’s inclusive approach ensures that children with additional needs receive targeted support through specialist resources and close partnerships with external professionals.
The nursery team works closely with families through daily conversations and the GrandirUK App, sharing information about each child’s learning and progress. A strong key person system helps children develop secure attachments from day one, supports smooth transitions between rooms, and prepares children well for school.

Everyday Essentials are included in our private fees. For funded children they are charged at £2.08 per funded hour (£20.80 for a 10-hour funded day) and cover catering (breakfast, cooked lunch and tea with vegetarian and vegan options, and snacks throughout the day), care products (suncream, wipes, hand sanitiser and nappies) and enrichment experiences, including music sessions with instruments, yoga, Heartbeeps and sports sessions. Funded children are billed weekly for the sessions they attend, so monthly amounts may vary. Funded hours are applied up to 10 hours a day. The full-time discount does not apply to half-day sessions. Wraparound care from 7:30am to 8am and 6pm to 6:30pm may be available on request. Ad-hoc days are £91.52 for children under 3 and £81.12 for children over 3, and ad-hoc half days are £58.24 and £50.96, subject to availability. We offer a 10% sibling discount on the eldest child's invoice. A non-refundable administration fee of £150 is payable to secure a place. If you only access funded hours, this fee is refunded on your first month's invoice. If you would prefer to provide your own consumables, please let the nursery know. Fully funded sessions without Everyday Essentials charges are available. Please speak to the Nursery Manager.

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.

From the minute we visited Pippas open day, to our son starting at the nursery and to now, the communication has been impeccable. Everything that was offered, said and promised has been followed through to smallest detail. The staff have been nothing but kind and understanding and have supported my son though a trickery transition. They have gotten to know him, his likes and dislikes in such a short space of time and ensure that any worries or change in preferred routine are communicated straight away. He has asked on the weekends to attend nursery and play with all the fantastic toys. The nursery is always clean and the staff make the effort to spark up conversation giving me a lot of confidence in the care they are providing. We love getting updates on the app and seeing pictures throughout the day help with the worry of leaving him. We would highly recommend Pippas house in ash vale to anyone and look forward to seeing what the next few months bring to such a lovely setting.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear all the things that you enjoy about our nursery and its been a pleasure getting to know you all.

I began my childcare journey in 2018 having always had a passion for caring and looking after children. I have always wanted to progress my career and increase my skills and knowledge, so I love working as part of the management team, supporting parents as well as children. In 2023 I joined the Guildford branch of Pippa’s House as room leader and then Deputy Manager. From my very first day, I knew that Pippa’s was the place for me.I am very excited to be a part of our wonderful new setting in Ash Vale and am looking forward to continuing my career in early years. No day is the same and there is nothing better than watching a child flourish and grow.
