What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
If your child attends more than the funded hours, any additional hours will be charged at £8 per hour, and you will be invoiced accordingly.
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
15 hours free childcare for eligible 2-year-olds (FF2); 15 hours universal entitlement for all 3 & 4 year olds; up to an additional 15 hours for eligible working parents (extended entitlement).
Worth knowing. The 15 funded hours can be taken during the following times: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: 8:45am – 2:45pm; Thursday and Friday: 8:45am – 12:45pm. Children who are due to start school in the next intake may also access their funded hours from 12:45pm – 2:45pm on Thursdays and Fridays. If your child attends more than the funded hours, any additional hours will be charged at £8 per hour, and you will be invoiced accordingly.
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 Egerton Pre-School (Kent)
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £8.00 an hour 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.
