A non-refundable fee of £50 must accompany every registration.

    If your child is two years old, or not eligible for funding, we charge according to the tables below per morning or afternoon session. If you are attending a three plus years funded place and wish to add extra sessions you can also purchase these. Please see our ‘help with fees‘ section below for further information on funded places.

What the parents say

  • Greyfriars nursery is great. My child is so excited to get there every morning. I would recommend the nursery to family and friends.

  • I have found everyone to be very supportive, professional and friendly. On my child’s first day I was clearly upset. The staff recognised this and very kind. They didn’t make a fuss but called very soon afterwards to say that my son was settling well and stopped crying.

  • Very good leadership. A great team. 

  • My son has been attending the nursery from age two for almost one and a half years now. He loves going to nursery daily. The key worker has made sure my son is looked after constantly and that he does his work independently. The nursery is a second home for him.

  • Very friendly, experts in child development and a team that I trust to care for my child. Also everyone must be very patient!!!

  • My child seems to be settling well. Overall, she seems well looked after and she is making good progress with her speech. Thank you!
