Funded hours

Worth knowing. We offer funded-only places of 15 or 30 hours per week (term-time only for toddlers and pre-school). Funding is calculated on a 38-week year. Little Nest operates over 51 weeks of the year, and so your funding will be stretched to cover the 51 weeks. This works out at 11 hours a week for 15-hour funding, and 22 hours a week for 30-hour funding. However, we do offer term-time only places for families accessing 'together for 2's funding' from Lewisham local authority.

What childcare usually costs in Lewisham

This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lewisham from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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