What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
Government-funded childcare places as part of the 15-hour and 30-hour free entitlement scheme for eligible two, three and four-year-old children.
Worth knowing. Funded hours are available free of charge to parents, can be accessed without mandatory additional charges and are offered during agreed sessions in line with EYFS requirements. Government funding covers early education entitlement hours but does not cover meals, consumables such as nappies, wipes or sun cream, or additional activities such as trips, extra-curricular experiences or specialist classes. Parents may choose to contribute towards additional costs, but these charges should remain opti.
What childcare usually costs in Thurrock
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Thurrock 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is there a place for my child's age? 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.
