Silchester Manor Day Nursery Parents Information

Our Fees

Opening Hours 

We’re open from 7.30 am until 6.00 pm Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. We offer full time and part-time sessions to suit your needs.

We close for all Bank Holidays, and one week at Christmas. 

Minimum Booking Policy

The minimum number of sessions your child can be booked into the Maidenhead nursery and pre-school is two sessions per week (one session equals either an AM or PM session).

Please note the minimum booking policy is not applicable to grant funded sessions.

Our Nursery and Registration Fees

We calculate fees from actual booked attendance, based on Silchester Manor’s fee sheet. We calculate fees by taking weekly attendance fees, multiplying by 52 (there are 52 chargeable weeks per year), then divide by 12 to give your monthly payment. We ask for payment by Direct Debit or voucher, monthly in advance, on or before, the first day of each month.

To book a place we require a £75.00 non-refundable registration fee for a new family (Please note this fee is not applicable for fully funded sessions).

    Our Siblings Discount

    If you have a child at nursery already or if you register more than one child with us, then we offer a discount of 5% off your oldest child’s nursery fees when their younger sibling joins us. 

    Silchester Manor Day Nursery’s OFSTED Report

    We are regulated by Ofsted – the ‘Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills’. They inspect all educational settings (including nurseries) to achieve excellence in the care of children of all ages.

    After the inspection of a setting, nurseries receive a full report of the inspector’s findings. Ofsted registered Silchester Manor in early 2012 and inspects us regularly, and if you’d like to see our latest report, please click here

    For more information on our philosophy, ethos and practice, our standards, how we do things, or our Report, then please call in and have a chat with the Silchester Manor Day Nursery team. We’d be delighted to see you and to discuss them.

    What Our Parents Say

    Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

    Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

    My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

    B C (Father of Child)

    The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

    H G (Mother of Child)

    I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

    S H (Mother of Child)

    The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

    Claire F (Mother of Child) 

    The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

    A D (Father of Child)

    The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

    E S (Mother of Child)

    I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

    Alexander M (Father of Child)

    My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

    G W (Mother of Child)

    Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
