St Ives Nursery is a private day care nursery located in the centre of St Ives, conveniently placed close to both the A14 for access to Cambridge and easy rail links for commuters into London. Our beautiful converted Victorian house and garden allow us to foster our ethos of providing our children with a 'home from home' environment.

Our philosophy is that every child we care for deserves a calm, caring, safe and stimulating environment in which to learn. Taking care of our staff's wellbeing is of prime importance to us and we are proud to have been voted the 14th best place to work in the whole of the UK. We adhere to our registration on the Ofsted Early Years Register.
Services
At St Ives Nursery we work in partnership with parents to achieve the best possible outcomes for all the children in our care. Our high-quality service ensures children develop socially, intellectually, culturally, physically and emotionally in a homely, caring and secure environment.

Our environment and development programmes are tailored for each age range, providing a range of activities including, language and communication, technology skills and emergent reading and writing.This helps to prepare children for their next steps in education. Our curriculum meets the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) and the Cambridgeshire Local Authority funding requirements.
All 3 to 4-year-olds in England receive 570 hours of free early education or childcare per year. We stretch the termly entitlement over 51 weeks of the year. Children of parents meeting certain criteria will be eligible for the extended entitlement which provides an additional 570 hours of free childcare per year.

£377 a month is listed on their fees page for my 3 year old for 15 hours free which would be 2 days a week which is ridiculous that we received on their fees enquiry email as i don't even spend that much on a months food shop for 4 of us and when questioned and queried they didn't have the courtesy to respond to my wife's emails hourly rate is £10 here for extra hours whereas a nursery 0.5 miles away charge £6 a hour and food also only £0.70p per funded hour so in total quoted from them it will cost my son £125.64 for 2 days a week total for the month including half terms for a year.

Best Nursery in St Ives! My sister’s children went here and they loved it. The staff are so great and the manager always used to bend over backwards to help my sister if she needed extra childcare, even at the last minute. I’m always telling people to go there.

My child just started going there and he seems to love it, which is great. He smiles to all the ladies as he leaves which to me means they are all nice to him. I couldn't have chosen a better nursery ;)
