Funded hours
Government funding does not cover things such as meals, snacks, drinks, suncream extra curricular activities or outings, neither does it cover the enrichment products we purchase for activities.
Worth knowing. We do have a £4 a session extra charge, which is £8 a day for full days. If you wish to opt out of this payment, please speak to the manager and she will advise you on what you need to provide yourselves and when.
What childcare usually costs in Blackpool
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Blackpool from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.
Still missing for Chelsea Kindergarten
- Youngest age taken
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £65.00 a day 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.
- Is there a place for my child's age? 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.
