What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
ALL Government Funding from Babies to 4 year olds is also accepted.
Worth knowing. We accept funding in the simplest way possible and deduct the time from the first sessions each week. There are no restrictions on when you can use a funded session and you are not required to pay for any private sessions to achieve the funded sessions. We simply deduct the funded time and you pay the rest, with a simple and reasonable fee for food and consumables, which is clearly not covered by any Government Funding. Meals & Snacks are charged at £9 for a Fully Funded Day, whilst Consumables.

Still missing for Lydstep Nursery
- What it costs
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
