Funded hours
30 hours funding refers to the government paying for 30 hours per week, for the educational element of fees, but note this is for 38 weeks a year (1140 hours per year). Reference may also be made to "from the age of 9 month", but please note that funding is (1) only claimable if parent eligibility has been proven through the appropriate eligibility checker and verified by the government and (2) cl.
Worth knowing. Parents may opt out of the 07:30-08:00 slot and may choose to opt out of consumables. We also offer term-time-only spaces, though these are limited and usually only available in the final preschool years.
What childcare usually costs in Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Gloucestershire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are safe and secure in this nursery. They have strong bonds with all staff.
Younger children wake from their sleep and enjoy cuddles with staff. Older children share the excitement of their experiences from home. For example, they excitedly tell staff how they carved pumpkins with spoons and knives for Halloween. Children display very good behaviour. Staff have high expectations for behaviour throughout the nursery. The youngest children giggle together and hold hands as they jump and splash in puddles. Older children confidently ask friends if they can join their play. Children say, 'Of course you can,' and cooperatively play together. Children have very good manners. The youngest children use sign language to say 'please'
and 'thank you'. Older children independently use manners in their daily language.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to carefully plan group activities to meet the needs of all the children and to extend their learning even further.

- What it costs
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
