We would advise to get in touch as soon as possible. Many of our rooms operate waiting lists therefore we advise to put your child’s name down as early as you can. However, we will always do our upmost to help secure your place. The best thing to do is get in touch with our friendly team who will be more than happy to help.

What help can I get with childcare costs?
The Government offers a variety of ways to support childcare costs and they have a website that allows you to see what might work best for your family it is called Best Start in Life. If you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact us.
I am quite anxious about the prospect of using a nursery. Do you have any advice?
It is completely natural to feel anxious, whether it is your first baby or your fourth – the worry doesn’t go away! We completely understand and are here to support you. Many of our teams are parents themselves and have first-hand experience of how scary the thought of leaving your child in a nursery can be. To help alleviate some of the worry we offer settling-in sessions for as long as you and your child needs. We can also put you in touch with other parents who have already been through the process to give you first-hand, honest advice and support. Our teams are here on hand to discuss any worries or concerns and will work with you and your child for as long as you both need to feel comfortable, settled and secure.
