Funded hours

This means your child will be eligible for 15 hours of free education per week for 38 weeks of the year, subject to availability. The funding is available from the term after your child's 3rd birthday (cut off dates do apply). From September funding from 9 months old is being made available.
Worth knowing. Subject to availability.
What childcare usually costs in Sutton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sutton from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff develop strong attachments with children and their families. Children arrive to the pre-school happily and separate from their parents with ease. They quickly settle into the familiar routines. The manager and staff team create a curriculum with a clear intent. They work closely to provide an enabling environment. Staff's aim is for children to explore, gain life skills, get school ready and be happy learners. The manager and key persons make effective use of settling-in arrangements by completing home visits. This supports them to build strong relationships with parents and children from the beginning. Staff are able to gather detailed information to plan effectively for individual children's needs and abilities.
This helps children to transition with ease into the setting.
Staff understand that some children need additional support with their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide regular opportunities for children to see, hear and use their home languages within the setting to enhance their communication even further.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £23.25 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.
