About this day nursery
Little Dragon's Day Nursery is a family-operated childcare facility situated in the charming village of Snitterfield, near Stratford-Upon-Avon. Catering to children from 6 months to 5 years old, the nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
They offer various funding options to assist parents with fees, including the Funded Early Education Entitlement for children aged 9 months to 4 years, providing up to 15 or 30 hours per week during term time. This includes expanded working parent entitlement, funding for disadvantaged two-year-olds, and universal funding for three and four-year-olds.
Additionally, the nursery supports the Tax-Free Childcare scheme, where the government contributes towards childcare costs for working parents. They also acknowledge Universal Credit as a means for eligible parents to claim back a significant portion of their childcare expenses.
While Childcare Vouchers are accepted, the scheme is closed to new applicants. The nursery has a comprehensive set of policies covering various aspects of child care, from admissions and safety to health and nutrition, all available for parents to review.
They also provide a schedule of fees for the 2025/2026 academic year, which can be downloaded directly from their website.
