Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Early Learning Funding for 2 year olds (LA issued EYFE), 2 Year Funded Entitlements (LA funded or for working parents), 3-year Funded Entitlements (universal 15 hours a week or extended up to 30 hours a week).
Worth knowing. The funded Entitlement is not intended to cover the cost of food for snacks, activities, trip, classes and other consumables, Parents can therefore expect to pay for any food offered by us and to pay for other consumables or additional activities with our voluntary consumables charge.
What childcare usually costs in West Sussex
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in West Sussex from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7.00 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.
