What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
Registered providers of the government grant scheme for eligible children from the age of 9 months old; early years funding entitlement (both 15 and 30 hours) for eligible children aged 9 months and over.
Worth knowing. There is a discretionary consumable charge in place, this can be discussed on an individual basis. This charge is to cover the costs of all healthy home cooked meals and snacks, the extra activies we provide and all other sundries. These additional charges are not a condition of accessing a place. The government funding is paid for 38 weeks of the year, however we offer the flexibility to stretch the funding over 52 weeks, allowing 22 hours per week.
What childcare usually costs in Lancashire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lancashire 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
