Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Under 2s: 8, 9 or 10-hour sessions; 2-year-olds: 8, 9 or 10-hour sessions; 3 & 4-year-olds: 10-hour sessions only.
Worth knowing. Government funding can only be claimed for a maximum of 10 hours per day and 30 hours per week (term time equivalent). For our 3 and 4-year-old children, funded sessions are available in 10-hour blocks only.
What childcare usually costs in Devon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Devon 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £65.20 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.
- 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.
