We've got it covered
We take care of the everyday details. Freshly prepared meals, snacks, nappies and essentials: all included for every child in our care. Allergies or special diets? We've got that covered too. See how we approach food and mealtimes.
Nursery Fee Calculator
Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.
Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.
When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
Estimate your fees
Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.
In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01202 048 214, our friendly team is here to help.
