Funded hours
We receive funding to deliver free early years education to children from the term after their third Birthday. Depending on the days or sessions your child attends we can claim, on your behalf, up to a maximum of 30 hours of funding per week for 38 weeks of the year. We also support the Talking Two’s funding and offer free places if your child is eligible.
Worth knowing. The Government Funding does not cover any food costs, for children on fully funded places there will be an additional charge to cover food and consumables. please enquire for prices and funded session times.

What it is like to attend
Children express excitement and enjoy their time in this warm and welcoming setting. They actively seek out staff to join them in their games or go to them for reassurance and cuddles. This demonstrates the strong bonds children have with their key person and the team. The staff create an inviting and stimulating environment, which encourages children to make independent choices and become confident learners. The well-planned curriculum builds on what children already know and further supports their learning in all areas. For instance, babies explore shape sorters, which helps to develop their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as they practise fitting shapes into the correct holes. Toddlers develop their physical skills by running, skipping and climbing as they play outdoors. Pre-school children use their imagination in the home corner as they play with their friends.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and gently remind them of the setting's rules. Children are kind to one another and are beginning to manage their own emotions effectively. When unwanted behaviours arise, staff calmly distract the children. This results in good behaviour. Staff celebrate children's achievements and praise them when they attempt activities or display positive behaviours, for example tidying up and being kind to their peers. This approach helps children take pride in their accomplishments and helps raise their self-esteem.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on staff knowledge to enable them to independently plan and provide ambitious and exciting learning opportunities, to broaden children's experiences even further n develop teaching to inspire children's interests and fascinations to further develop their curiosity and engagement.

Still missing for Church Street Day Nursery
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- 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 £46.00 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.
