About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- 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.

We have had the best experience at St Mary's Pre-School. The team are extremely professional and very nurturing towards the children. It's lovely to know my child has been left in the best of hands.
Everything is very well organised and the room is always set up with new and exciting toys and themes. They have a sports lesson a week, as well as forest school and phonics sessions once the kids are ready.

My son has been going to St Mary's for 6 months now and he and I couldn't be happier. He was supported to settle in well, I get excellent communication from the team and feel his development is fully understood and supported. Thank you team!

Both of my children have attended St Mary's Preschool and they've had a wonderful time. The staff are very dedicated and caring and my children have been so happy there. Each week there's a new interesting topic, with creative activities and crafts. My children made great progress at the setting and were ready for the transition to big school. I would highly recommend it.

We've had such a wonderful experience at this preschool. The staff are incredibly warm, friendly and genuinely care about every child, creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive.
Our daughter absolutely loves going each day. She has so much fun, has made lovely friends, and we're always amazed by how much she's learning. The outdoor forest play is a real highlight and gives the children fantastic opportunities to explore, play and build confidence.
Most importantly, she's happy, excited to go in each morning, and comes home smiling. As parents, there's nothing more reassuring than dropping your child off knowing they're happy, safe and cared for. We couldn't ask for a more loving and supportive environment, and we're so grateful for everything the staff do.

My youngest is about to finish preschool this week after two incredible years. My eldest also went to St Mary's.
The level of care. Love and support the children get is amazing. All the staff get to know every single child individually. The weekly themes are exciting and relevant activities so well thought out and creative. They provide real talking points at home. Extra activities such as forest school, trips and sporty stars all provide additional learning opportunities. My daughter is absolutely ready for reception. I cannot recommend St Mary's enough! It is a magical place where children thrive! Do not hesitate to go and visit you will also fall in love with it.
