What it costs

Funded hours
Universal Entitlement (UE) for all 3- and 4-year-olds; 15 Hours Entitlement for children of working parents aged 9 months – 2 years; Extended 30 hours Entitlement (EE) for eligible children of working parents from 9 months + from September 2025; 15 hours for single income & benefit-claiming households of children aged 2 years.
Worth knowing. 15/30 hours per week over 38 weeks, term-time only. 9/25 hours per week over 48 weeks, all year round. Sessions outside of this are charged at our standard session rates. If you are only accessing funded hours then these charges are optional and are not a condition of accessing a free place.
What childcare usually costs in Leicester
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicester from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
