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.

Tons of Fun Childcare have had both my babies since they were 7 months old. My eldest is now 3. I was nervous handing my kids over to return to work, but the girls put me at ease and made the transition so much easier. Both my children do very well at the nursery. Their behaviour, speech and development is definitely more advanced due to their time at Tons of Fun. They are offered nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day and I always receive detailed feedback about what the kids have been doing. I can't rave about the staff enough, they are all amazing and my children love going there. Dreading the day we have to go to big school & say goodbye!

We sent our little one here at 6months old, as first time parents and him starting young we were quite anxious, the staff were and still are to this day incredible. They reassured us with regular updates and photos which is a really nice touch. They are very accommodating and understanding, I have complete trust and confidence in the staff team. Our little one absolutely loves going to nursery and we can see how caring and loving the staff are which is exactly what you want in a nursery. Highly recommend the managers and their team.

They serve a great selection of meals, are always doing crafts and singing songs, and spend lots of time outside whatever the weather. Really happy to have found Tons of Fun.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that you and your daughter are happy here.
Wouldn't send our daughter anywhere else!

Amazing nursery, clean, nothing is ever too much. My son is thriving and loves going. They are accommodating and understanding. My son has become more sociable and advanced in his speaking. His teachers are encouraging and supportive.

The learning environment is engaging, and my son has thrived both socially and academically since starting. The activities are well thought out, encouraging creativity, independence, and teamwork. I've also been really impressed with how well the staff communicate with parents - I always feel informed about my son's progress and daily experiences.
Most importantly, my son is always excited to go in the morning, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy he feels there. I would highly recommend Tons of Fun to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you are able to provide such positive feedback.

My child has been attending Tons of Fun nursery from 11 months old, and absolutely loves it. The staff are so caring and fun, and it is clear by the way her face lights up when she sees them that they take the time to bond with the children. They offer good flexibility with work schedules and very competitive on price. There are also lots of themed days and fun activities that are a lovely extra touch.
Thank you for your review. It's nice to hear positive feedback and glad you have settled into the setting.
