  • Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp, Ascot
Village End is open 8am - 5pm all year round and has a spacious, open planned setting with a large garden area.

At the moment the nursery accepts children from 18 months upwards. However, from September 2024 they will be accepting children from 9 months.

The nursery charges by the hour for ad hoc bookings, e.g. if the parents book 11am – 2pm, the payment will be for three hours and not the full day.

Parents who wish to utilise government funding may book sessions Monday to Friday between 8am – 5pm if a permanent full-time place is required.

Fees are very competitive and start at just £6.90. Childcare vouchers are accepted plus government funding can be accessed for all ages.

Parents may provide either a packed lunch or choose freshly cooked Village End meals or a mixture of both.

Village End has also has an app where parents can register, arrange a visit, complete all the necessary legal forms, book a place, amend, extend, cancel or add an extra day.

The app has lots of important information about their crèche, nursery and preschool as well as their teaching methods and childcare ethos.

Instead of registration fees, deposits and lengthy notice periods, Village End believes in allowing parents to make an informed decision by booking a few ad hoc sessions to start with whilst considering their long term options. No rush! No pressure!

To 'Arrange a Visit' please visit the nursery's website.

I can’t recommend Village End enough. My daughter has been attending for almost 3 years now, and the staff have always been so brilliant with her at every age. The flexibility gave me the chance to go back to work, and it’s so handy knowing that they can also take my older daughter in the holidays.
It’s great to know that both my children will always have a fantastic day here.

Reply from Hana Price, Deputy Manager at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you so much for your kind words about Village End. It has been such a pleasure to look after your daughters over the years and it is lovely that we still get to see your older daughter during our Mini Camps in the school holidays. We're so glad that our flexibility has helped you to return to work. We're looking forward to our summer of fun with the girls before your little one graduates to big school.

I couldn't ask for anything more from Village End, ticked all our boxes. From our first visit, I really had a good feeling and didn't look elsewhere. The staff are friendly and approachable. Most importantly, my daughter enjoys it and I know she's comfortable. If you're looking for a place for your
child, I'd definitely recommend Village End.

Reply from Hana Price, Deputy Manager at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you for your wonderful review! We still remember your daughter's first visit and it's like she was part of the family from the minute she walked in the door! It has been so lovely to watch your daughter grow in confidence and make amazing progress during her time with us, she is always so happy and bubbly. Thank you again for your lovely words.

Both my children (3 and 5 years old) have been going to Village End from young ages, after moving my daughter here from another nursery. Village End and the staff have been absolutely amazing with both my children. My children absolutely love going here, the activities are entertaining and educational,
with great resources and outside space. The staff are keen to engage with all the children and enjoy engaging in play and support, they are always happy. The nursery is one of a kind - offering flexible timings and payment only for the hours used, compared to other nurseries, they also collect my daughter from school for “after school club” and are open most of the summer holidays. This has been pivotal in allowing me to continue working as a paramedic. I would and do, highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Reply from Hana Price, Deputy Manager at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you so much for your fantastic review and lovely words about Village End. It has been such a pleasure to care for your son and daughter and watch them grow during their time with us. Your comments about our staff mean the world to them. We're really glad that you like our activities, our staff pride themselves on creating fun and engaging activities with a twist! Whether we're 'walking through the jungle' or getting messy with sensory play, we're always up to something fun. We are so lucky to have such a fantastic garden area where the children can run, explore and ride their bikes/cars. We're so glad that our flexibility has helped you with your vital work, and we love seeing your daughter when she finishes school and during the holidays. We can't wait for the summer of fun we have planned during the school holidays!

Village End has been nothing but a blessing to myself and my daughter. The manager and the team have helped in so many different ways. The flexible approach and booking app is so easy and the only nursery that has been able to support my lifestyle. Since joining the nursery, my daughter has flourished
in both speech and confidence. Being a single and working mother, I am also grateful for the help I have received in successfully starting my daughter's potty training. I get updated daily on her progress, which really helps me carry on with the training at home. I also receive updates and photos via the parents' app - which I love to log on and see during the working day. Thank you once again Village End.

Reply from Hana Price, Deputy Manager at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words about Village End. Your daughter is an absolute joy and brings so many smiles to the other children and staff. We have loved watching her grow in confidence and make friends, and she is always chatting away! We can't wait to see all the things she achieves during her time at Village End. We're so glad that our flexibility has been helpful to you. We know how hard it is for working parents to juggle everything, so we pride ourselves on providing options for every type of parent and family situation. We're so pleased you love our online learning journal via the parents' App, we find it a great way to keep parents updated in real-time about all the fun their children are having during their sessions. See you soon.

My daughter loves it so much at Village End, she literally runs through the door greeted by all her friends and the staff. The care is second to none and they always go over and above. The flexibility for parents is a real peace of mind, knowing that no matter what work or life throws at you, your little
ones will be cared for in a fun and caring environment.

Reply from Hana Price, Deputy Manager at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

I am extremely happy sending my daughter to Village End and I highly recommend them to any other parents thinking of sending their child there. As a former teacher, I know that the early years' education that they provide is of an extremely high quality, with a wide variety of enjoyable play-based learning
activities, precisely designed to allow children to explore and develop their learning at their own pace in fun, meaningful and engaging ways. Another fantastic aspect of Village End is the safe, loving and caring environment and “family-feel” that you get there which is, in my opinion, exactly what little ones need. Another aspect I am really grateful for is the option of flexible, short-notice childcare - which is a game-changer for my personal circumstances. If you are looking for a safe, nurturing and first-class educational setting for your little one then Village End is the perfect choice.

Reply from Hana Price, Deputy Manager at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means the world to us that you are so happy to send your daughter to Village End, we love having her here with us. Thank you for your comments regarding our early years education - we strive to provide varied activities that invite children to engage with their learning, with lots of different things to do each day. We really pride ourselves on providing a 'family' feel, so we are really pleased to hear you feel that way. Providing a second home for the children is very important to us. We're really glad that you enjoy our flexible ad-hoc booking sessions too. We looking forward to welcoming your little one back for their next session soon.

Village End worked perfectly for my daughter's needs, offering the flexibility and ad hoc hours that we required. The setting is well laid out with lots of toys and activities on offer. My daughter enjoyed all the creative offerings including painting, playdough, drawing, stamping and much more. Outside
they have lots of fun toys and equipment to use also. The staff are friendly and so welcoming. They made my daughter feel very at ease and looked after her well-being. I felt the communication was good and lots of the things they had done were recorded on her learning journal using tapestry for us to see and comment on, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend Village End to any families, particularly those who need flexible hours. They were always able to accommodate us. My daughter absolutely loved attending which shows how much fun it must have been!

Reply from Robert Fielder, Owner at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! your daughter is one in a million and it's a pleasure to care for her. I'm glad you enjoy Tapestry, we all try to ensure that parents are able to follow the children's learning on a daily bases.

We have recently moved our son to Village End and are so glad we did! Our son loves going and is always asking ‘when am I going to nursery’ he attends every day and has made so many friends already!
We are very pleased with how he is doing and would recommend Village End to anyone looking for a nursery!

Reply from Tracey Fielder, Manager at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you Ben for your review. It is so rewarding to keep receiving top marks from our parents. Our staff are so proud to have received so many great reviews for their efforts during 2020, a tough year for us all!

I highly recommend Village End. The staff are amazing and friendly. My son loves going here so much that when I wake him up on nursery days, he jumps up out of bed, shouts 'yey' and gets himself dressed!
The price is amazing and the flexibility is incredible. I really struggled with whether to find
a nursery near where I live or where I work, and I'm so glad I chose near work! It's really affordable and can change hours to what suits really easy. There's no other nursery like it.
The app is really easy to use and if you have a question it is always answered promptly.
Facilities are great and they have really good outside space. There is a good variety of food for a good price but you can opt to have packed lunches.
The staff are great for recording observations and I love seeing what my son gets up to on the portal.
If you're looking for great childcare with a great price and flexibility look no further!

Reply from Robert Fielder, Owner at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad he jumps out of bed on his nursery days. Well, that means from January he will be jumping out of bed every day! Thank you for choosing Village End 5 days per week form next year! Look forward to seeing you all back soon, Merry Christmas from the Village End crew!

I cannot explain how happy myself and my son's dad are moving him to Village End. He absolutely loves it there and is always so excited to go! He always tells me about all his friends and teachers and the different things he does on a daily basis.
Thank you all so much for looking after my son the
way you all do.

Reply from Robert Fielder, Owner at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

It's my pleasure! He is a lovely boy who has settled in so well. His best friends mum has also just sent over a review, I'm so glad both boys love Village End. Have a Merry Christmas, and we'll see you all again in the new year!

I could not recommend Village End enough! My 3-year-old daughter has been going for over a year now and absolutely loves it after having a few troubles finding one she settled into. They are so flexible, so caring towards the children and all the staff are so helpful and friendly. My 2-year-old daughter
has just started and the staff have done everything possible to ensure she settles into the nursery happily. The staff kept me updated throughout her first morning and uploaded the loveliest observations of her to our Tapestry so I could see from home how she was settling in. It’s like a home from home, relaxed but professional service and I couldn’t be happier that both my daughters attend here and we love the calm, happy atmosphere they provide. The staff go above and beyond for the children’s birthdays, Halloween, Christmas and always doing fun activities with the children and keeping them entertained. I love picking my girls up with smiles on their faces. Thank you Village End!

Thank you so much for your lovely review Lucy, we have absolutely loved looking after your daughters. We are so pleased you enjoy our flexibility and thank you for your kind words about our staff.

Village End has been absolutely amazing for my granddaughter. The flexibility of care means that it is easy for my daughter and I to share drop off/pick up without being tied to a certain time. The staff are very friendly and always happy to discuss the progress of the children. My granddaughter clearly
loves the staff and I feel very happy that she is treated as part of a family in her “home from home”. The mobile app is fantastic. I have never seen anything like it for childcare and it makes things so simple. Village End is the modern-day answer to childcare - catering for busy parents, grandparents who help out and parents who need flexible childcare with no set hours. Very highly recommended.

Reply from Hana Price at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear that you and your family are happy with Village End. We have loved watching your granddaughter progress and are very pleased to hear our flexible approach makes childcare convenient for you. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with the families of the children in our care and it is always a pleasure to discuss her progress. We are extremely happy to hear the feedback on our staff and our approach. It is very important to us that the children feel we are a "home from home" where they can feel safe, happy and encouraged. We look forward to welcoming your granddaughter and family again soon.

My just turned 2 year old started at Village End at the start of May 2019. I was returning to work in early June after 3 years off, and so I was very concerned about where I wanted my daughter to go, and how I would ease her through the transition of starting nursery. All of the staff at Village End
have been approachable, kind, caring and very reassuring. I started my daughter initially with 2/3 hour sessions every couple of days and gradually built up her hours. This meant that I was in and out of the nursery at various times of the day, and so saw many different points of their day. The children are regularly outside in the large garden (big win), or enjoying story time/singing, or indeed my daughters favourite - eating! I am pleased I chose Village End - my daughter has settled well, and I am confident she is enjoying her days there. The flexibility in hours is incredible, as is the fact that I can use term time only hours to suit my job, but also make use of holiday childcare as needed.

There are a variety of areas for physical and mental stimulation and learning and development.

I am self-employed so I don't know what hours I'll be working from one week to the next so this is perfect for me. I was fed up with paying out hundreds of pounds a month for hours I didn't use or need. Also if I'm running late, I just tap on their mobile-friendly app and send a message. As a mum and
business owner, I don't have time for admin. With their app, I can just send a one-touch form whenever I have a moment. There are always lots of activities for my son to do there so I never feel he gets bored. The staff are friendly and the management team are focused on training and developing their staff, acting on their needs. Summer holidays such a challenge, but with Village End, there is full wrap-around childcare throughout the year with only a couple of weeks off a year. I love the fact that freshly cooked meals cooked on the premises and I don't have to worry about packed lunches! Seeing them all sit down for dinner is so adorable!

Reply from Robert Fielder at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. Village End is very flexible, therefore for self-employed parents like yourself, our Nursery is just what you need. We have all enjoyed caring for your son and will miss him when he starts big school. Thank you for your comments regarding the App, as I remember you were one of the parents who helped with feedback as we were designing its functionality. Lastly, our freshly cooked meals well that's all down to the staff as they all love cooking and experimenting with new recipes.

Village End has been our ‘home away from home’ for 10 years, our children are very happy and above all for us that is the most important aspect; they have a flexible, safe environment where they can play, develop, learn and be happy! I cannot praise the staff enough for creating and maintaining this
space for my children while I go to work. I have total peace of mind they will be stimulated with numerous activities, fed with home cooked, healthy meals and return home with stories of exciting play time every day.
The management and the staff are always on hand at drop off and pick up for any questions, they provide support and any feedback is communicated with consideration and the utmost of care. The teamwork between staff and parent is wonderful, nothing is a 'problem' and everything can be 'worked out' together for you and the family. Also, to note, the mobile app is pure genius, you can change your sessions in ‘real time’ if running late or you need a few extra hours at short notice!

Reply from Robert Fielder at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you for your kind comments Rachel. Yes 10 years, doesn't time fly! Not long now and your youngest will be moving on to big school. I have copied your comments to the staff as I'm sure they'll be delighted to read what you had to say about them.

My son has been attending Village End nursery for almost a year now. I really like the simplicity of how the childcare is explained in relation to the free government funding and childcare vouchers, compared to other nurseries who only offered 15 hours funding and were never flexible how these are used.
Village End took the stress out of it and are extremely accommodating, understanding and flexible in the matter, they are also very affordable compared to others in the area.
My son loves going to nursery, the staff are very friendly and helpful, they provide my son with his meals throughout the day for a small fee, two of which are hot meals for lunch and dinner. The outdoor space is amazing for the children to run around in and the free flow approach allows the children to learn freely. I am very happy that I chose my son to go to Village End and will be sad to leave in September when he leaves to start school.

Thank you Christina. Yes nearly a year, how time flies! Situated a stone's throw away from Heatherwood Hospital, our nursery is so convenient for NHS staff like yourself. Your son has had a great time at Village End and is now more that ready for big school! Many thanks again for taking time to review us.

Village End has been an amazing setting for my daughter who has been there for over 18 months now. She absolutely loves attending and loves the staff too. They are so welcoming and caring. The children have lots of space and excellent resources to play and learn with. Also, there is a nice large garden
too so the children get lots of outside time too.


They are so flexible with hours and they have an app where you can easily change or extend a booking. This facility has been excellent for us as not having a family network nearby we have had to call on them a few times for last minute help. It’s also affordable compared to a lot of settings in the area and you can use your funded hours at times that suit you.


You can add meals as an extra or just take a packed lunch but my daughter has the meals and really enjoys them. They all sit down together with the staff and have meals together. Can’t fault the place and thoroughly recommend!


Reply from Robert Fielder at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Many thanks for your kind comments. Not long left before your daughter starts big school! I'm so glad she has enjoyed her time here, I can hear her voice in the background as I write this reply. Regarding 30 hours per week funding, A few other parents have started their child here because they could use the funding on the days that suited them. She will be dearly missed from September when she goes to big school but I'm sure we'll see her from time to time at Mini Camp during the school holidays.

My 2 children have been attending Village End for well over a year. They are very settled at the nursery and absolutely love the staff and the activities available to them each day. There is always a relaxed and calm atmosphere. My children are 2 and 4 and one of the main things I enjoy about the nursery
is that they can both play together in a large open space with free flow access to the outdoor area. There is an excellent mix of focused learning but also free play which enables them to chose each day what they would like to do. Meals provided by Village End are all freshly prepared, however, I can always provide a packed lunch. The nursery has its own app which as a working parent is very convenient. I can extend my bookings, add extra sessions, change contact details any time. The nursery hours are extremely flexible, my 30 free hours can be used any time.
The online learning journal is a great way for parents to feel part of the child’s learning. I love seeing all the pictures!

Reply from Jay Gauldie at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you Sarah for your wonderful comments it's been and still is a utter pleasure caring for your 2 lovely children! I know that you chose Village End because you felt that your youngest would settle much quicker if they had their older sibling by their side and in the same room and shared the same garden space. Well, I can honestly say that a year on and they still play together on a daily bases. A number of other parents have chosen Village End for the very same reason. it's so special to see children who get upset or have a fall go running to their nearest and dearest when in need of a quick reassuring cuddle!

(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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 10 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.
