Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
The government’s funded childcare entitlement for eligible children aged nine months to three years old. Funding is applied for 38 weeks of the year.
Worth knowing. Government funding covers childcare only . Charges for Enhanced Provision will be invoiced monthly and will ensure your child has full access to our enhanced activity and care provision. You are able to opt in or out for each section of our enhanced provision when you sign up with your original contract.
What childcare usually costs in South Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Gloucestershire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Still missing for Abacus Stoke Gifford
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £7.00 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
