Funded hours

15 Hours Universal Government Funding. All children become eligible for 15 HUGF the term after they become 3. At Children's House the HUGF is offered in afternoon sessions for five days per week.

Worth knowing. Parents opting to use their HUGF in this way will be subject to no other charges. We are not a part of any other schemes including the 30 hour system or 15 hours for two year olds and do not therefore offer those schemes.

What childcare usually costs in Kent

£7.00an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£6.50an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kent 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 Children's House Montessori

  • Meals
  • Nappies

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £28.00 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.
