Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Government funded sessions up to 15 hours per week, per child, for all children from the first term after their third Birthday; Free For 2 funding for eligible children; 2 year old Government funding for working families; extended funded hours (30 hours) for eligible children.
Worth knowing. Only three morning sessions may be funded before taking an afternoon session. If an afternoon session has been allocated, a fourth morning session may then be taken. Non-funded sessions can be taken as and when convenient, provided there are spaces available.
What childcare usually costs in Kent
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 Crockham Hill Preschool
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £5.00 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.
- 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.
