Funding & Fees Guide for Pooh Corner Kindergarten W8

  • All our kindergartens offer the government 15 hour funding for eligible children over two, and the government universal 15 hour funding for children over three which provides funding for a nursery education place for up for 15 hours per week to all 3-4 year olds.


    Children are eligible for the funding from the term after they turn the required age. The child’s birthday needs to occur on or before March 31st, August 31st and December 31st to be eligible for the funding from the following term.


    We also offer a number of full day places, which will include the 30 funded hours for those families that meet the government eligibility criteria.


    We will apply to the borough council on behalf of parents once a child is eligible. The funding provided does not cover the total cost of placing a child at The Kindergartens, therefore we charge an additional hours and services package. The additional services charge is due to the cost of providing qualified staff of a high calibre; maintaining a smaller teacher to child ratio; the provision of peripatetic staff to deliver extra curricular activities including sport, music/drama and dance, in addition to Forest School, snacks and other consumables.


    The funded hours are offered between 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. each day.


    Please call our admissions team to discuss the fees for your chosen setting.


    Fee sheet available upon request.

Very warm, friendly family-feel environment. Lots of activities to keep the children happy and learning through play and exploration. Wonderful staff. Our son has always been shy, but he has settled really well and enjoys going to nursery every day. He has made great friends.

My daughter’s first month or so at Pooh Corner has been incredible. She loves the teachers and has made friends quickly and easily. The routines mixed with variety keep her interested and engaged and she always comes back with a smile on her face. She is learning phonics, numbers and about different
professions quickly and loves the outdoor play and trips she’s already been on.
The limited spaces mean that the group is never too big and the children all feel special and attended to.
I couldn’t recommend Pooh Corner more for parents looking for a nursery in the area!

My daughter loves going to the nursery. Nursery staff is very friendly. They choose one topic for each week, around which the games and learning activities are structured, that helps her acquire knowledge and understanding of the world and develop her skills.
Maths, sports, music, cooking clubs are
fun and enjoyable.

The teaching staff have created a really special and welcoming environment - nurturing, caring with a high standard of teaching - and lots of fun.
Their dedication to the kids is faultless. We really appreciate the small class size and the ratio of teachers to kids is great.
Our son has thrived
since joining. We could not be happier with Pooh Corner Kindergarten.

I am beyond grateful to have found Pooh Corner Kindergarten - my daughter is the happiest child and absolutely adores waking up in the morning and running to nursery. The teaching staff is amazing and especially the Head Teacher - she is passionate about teaching and this place feels more like an extended
family. A high number of teachers per student means individually care and a high level of learning. Kids have different clubs every afternoon and also Forest School. I feel truly happy that my daughter has spent her first years of learning at PW8.

I have been blown away by the level of care my son has received since starting at Pooh Corner Kindergarten W8. The staff and especially the head show such a high level of care, diligence and commitment. The manager's enthusiasm and devotion to her children are evident from the first meeting, often going
above and beyond. My son absolutely adores going. There are a high number of teachers for the group size resulting in a lot of one-to-one care you don't often find. There is also such a broad variety of activities, visiting workshops and day trips going on that my son is always excited about something happening at school that week. We feel genuinely lucky to have stumbled across this gem of a nursery. We only wish we'd found it sooner.

Raising my baby through Covid times has brought a lot of concerns on the moment we will start nursery. Pooh Corner Kindergarten has brought from my first visit the feeling of safety, a homey place and mostly caring staff. An environment that fits a small number of children, it offered me the confidence
that even my son who was not very sociable with meeting new faces would enjoy it. And yes, he did! Settling was easy and the plan was very well put together with the headteacher. We are happy with all range of activities from sports, ballet classes and the clubs. Children gain great fine motor skills like recognising sounds and the letters of their name and writing down their names. Creativity skills are well encouraged through painting, while confidence is built up through self-expression up to being able to memorise the roles of a play and staging it in front of parents at the end of the term. I highly recommend Pooh Corner and its wonderful and caring staff.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.393)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.393) out of 10 for Pooh Corner Kindergarten W8 is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.893 for Pooh Corner Kindergarten W8 is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 56 Ratings = 4.893

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pooh Corner Kindergarten W8 is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 14 number of registered child places is 2.8, which has been reached with 5 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
