What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Non Funded Sessions are priced at £18.00 per 3-hour session.
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
30 hours or up to 30 funded hours available term time or stretched over 50 weeks. 2 & 3 years universal funding is available (2years funding ask the setting leader for more info).
Worth knowing. Funded Sessions are: 9:30am - 12:30pm and 1:30pm - 4:30pm session time only. No additional charges will be made for those sessions, but attendance will be limited to specific hours, and charges will be incurred for any additional attendance.
What childcare usually costs in Suffolk
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Suffolk 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 Blundeston Pre-School
- Nappies
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £18.00 a session 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.
