What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
Hampshire County Council's Early Years Education grant from the grant period following their third birthday; 15 hours per week; Hampshire's Two Year Old Offer scheme; From September 2025, children of working parents may qualify for up to 30 hours of funding.
Worth knowing. The grant covers the full 38 weeks a year that we are open and entitles your child to 15 hours per week of childcare. If their total hours per week exceed 15, you can decide at which setting you will pay fees for the additional hours.
What childcare usually costs in Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
