Cost

What it costs

Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.

Funded hours

All three year olds receive 15 hours per week free Government funding from the term after their third birthday and for eligible children from the term after they reach the age of 9 months. All funding will be stretched over 51 weeks per year, so for most children this will be 11 and 22 hours respectively per week.

What childcare usually costs in Buckinghamshire

£7.00an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£7.00an 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 Buckinghamshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

This setting re-registered. It replaced “Chiltern Hills Montessori” at the same address, which had been registered since 6 December 2010. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

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    Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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

    • 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.
