What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
If paying privately the cost is £26.50, per session (3 hours) this can be paid monthly/weekly/daily or half termly in advance.
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
We accept fully funded or privately paid from 3 to 30 hours a week. We have limited spaces for 2 years olds and accept two year old funding.
Worth knowing. We expect children who are eligible for funding to use funding for all their sessions at Pre-school or to pay fees as above.
What childcare usually costs in North Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Somerset 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 Grove Pre-School
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £26.50 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.
