Government funding

We are delighted to offer funded places for our families and take 2-year-old LEA funding, 3 and 4-year-old free 15 hours entitlement and the extended funding of 30 hours.

For more information and access to funding, visit: https://www.gov.uk/get-childcare

If you would like more information about the free hours, please speak to us; we can help you decide how best to use these and the availability of places.

Outside space

Our rural village location means we are surrounded by rolling fields. Our children have access to ample safe outside space so can take advantage of the clean country air.

Childcare flexibility

Our opening hours and flexible sessions are designed to make life easy for you, fitting childcare around your needs and commitments.

We open from 7:50am-6.00pm Monday to Friday throughout the year with the exception of Bank Holidays and the Christmas period.

Our flexible sessions allow you to choose for your child to be with us full time, for the school day, or just mornings or afternoons only.

Parent reviews

Our daughter joined KCP in September ‘20 and has thrived ever since. She has built great relationships with the staff & children and it is clear she is well looked after and cared for. As first-time parents, and leaving our baby during a pandemic, KCP has made us feel valued and that no question or call is too silly
Parent of a child in tiny developers – March 2021
My son is so excited about the opportunities that he has in Forest School I have had to book him in extra sessions so that he can go. It is such a high- level learning opportunity and so much fun which is so important.
Early Years Teacher Parent of a pre-school child (May 2016)
The owner and mangers are very approachable and are usually found ‘leading from the front’ with a hands-on approach. We believe this sets the tone of KCP’s climate and atmosphere- a careful balance of structure and informality. Ultimately this creates a family atmosphere which is so vital in an early- years setting.

I just wanted to say how brilliant the settling in weeks have been, and thank you for being so flexible and caring especially with the current circumstances!

Just to say a very huge thank you to you and your fabulous team- I have stepped foot in many a nursery/childcare setting and I feel privileged that my kids have attended the best.
