Fees are reviewed annually in February to take effect in April. Fees are charged 51 weeks of the year (Daily fee x number of days x 51 divided by 12 months). The only other time in the year fees may change is in September when funding changes may take place. We are closed for one week at Christmas, and bank holidays, although bank holidays are still payable. We also close our nursery at 1pm on Christmas Eve.
As we are open all year round our funding is ‘stretched’ to cover 51 weeks in the year. This is the equivalent of covering two mornings for the stretched 15 hours OR two mornings and one full day for the stretched 30 hours.

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.

Our little boy has been at Ivy House since January and we honestly couldn't be happier. From day one the staff have been wonderful, kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. He absolutely loves being there and is always so happy to go in, which gives us such peace of mind as parents. We love seeing all the activities he gets up to each day, and it's clear how much thought goes into everything they do. The team really know him as an individual and you can see how settled and confident he's become.
We can't recommend Ivy House highly enough. Thank you to all the staff for everything you do! We're so grateful he's part of such a lovely, caring environment.

A very sweet nursery environment perfect for my 1yr old who is not easily pleased being left with anyone other than me! The team have built a brilliant space in the last 6 months for little ones to roam with plenty of activities building readiness for learning. The outside space is particularly good. Best kept secret in Cobham/Stoke D'Abernon when it comes to childcare!

Our 23 month old twin daughters attend this nursery, and we could not be happier. The staff are incredibly kind, nurturing and attentive, taking time to know each child as an individual. Communication is excellent, and we always feel well informed and supported as parents. The range of activities is fantastic, with a great balance of indoor and outdoor play. Indoors, there is a strong focus on creativity, imaginative play and hands on learning. Early learning, including mathematics, is introduced naturally through fun, play based activities. The outdoor space is wonderful, spacious and full of opportunities to explore. Our daughters especially love the chickens, which provide a lovely and unique learning experience.
The nursery has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, filled with genuinely kind people. It is a place where our daughters are clearly thriving, and we feel very grateful to have found it.
