What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Full Day (07:30 – 18:00) – £75.60
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
Funded places for 9 months, 2, 3, and 4-year-olds (subject to eligibility).
Worth knowing. Funded hours can be taken term-time only (15 or 30 hours per week for 38 weeks) or stretched across the year over 51 weeks, depending on your preference. Please note we dont offer term-time only sessions. However, we do allow you to reduce to our minimum of two sessions per week during the holiday periods. Please note that these sessions would be charged at our standard daily rate, as funding does not apply during this time. We charge £1.20 per hour for Meals and Consumables. Funding hours must.
What childcare usually costs in Derbyshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Derbyshire 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £75.60 a day 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.
