Winchester Day Nursery and Preschool

"Wonderful nursery and preschool - I'm so delighted we picked it for our boy. The staff are incredible, so caring and attentive to the kids. Our boy has started school now, after 2 wonderful years with this team. He was totally ready. We're always going to remember the wonderful graduation the staff put on before the kids left, it was beautiful."

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 01967 750 333, our friendly team is here to help.

    "Our second child has just finished at this nursery, meaning that we've been going there for a total of eight years! We're sad to leave as they have both been so happy there. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone, especially because of the wonderful, caring staff. "

  • Parent Testimonial
    "Both of my children are at this wonderful nursery, the eldest from 9 months and he is now in preschool. The care they have received is outstanding and the nursery staff now feel like good friends and family. The app is brilliant and we love the feedback on nursery days that we receive from it."

    E L, Parent

  • Parent Testimonial
    "My son didn't speak English when he started the nursery as he is an ELS (English as a Second Language) child. But the atmosphere in the nursery was so warm and cosy that it helped him to feel relaxed and safe, so he was eager to learn the language."
