We are open all year round excluding public bank holidays.
We do not charge a registration fee nor do we ask for a deposit, minimal overheads enable us to provide very competitive prices.
Parent(s)/guardians are encouraged to bring their child to visit our nursery prior to their start date. Our settling in visits are free of charge and we have no "hard and fast" rule regarding the number of visits your child can attend, because we believe that both the child and the parent(s) need to feel settled prior to the initial start date.

Nursery Education Grant
The LEA early years government funding (grant) is for 3 and 4 year olds. All children are entitled to the funding, the term after their third birthday. The maximum amount of hours you can claim is 15 per week term time this is over 38 weeks (Term Time only). You are also able to claim the 15 hours over the full year by claiming 10/11 hours per week, an additional 15 hours is available for children who are eligible. Please contact the nursery for more information regarding Government Funding and your options.
A Parental Contract form will need to be completed stating that your child attends the setting and the sessions in which they attend. This is then sent to Stockport Council and the funding will be deducted off your nursery fees.
We are now able to offer two year old funding to those who are eligible, please see your health visitor for more information and a confirmation letter. This can be claimed the same way as the Three Year old funding.
