Cost

What it costs

Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.

£8.00 an hour2 to 5 years
Each session is charged at £8.00 per hour, per child. Snack is included in the fee during a morning session.

One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.

What childcare usually costs in Hertfordshire

£7.09an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£7.00an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

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

£8.00 an hour is about the same as the Hertfordshire median of £7.00 an hour. The median covers every provider in the council, including childminders, so a nursery sitting above it is normal.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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

  • Is £8.00 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
  • Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
