What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Ad-hoc Day sessions will be charged at £160 each.
One published rate, dated September 2025 - August 2026. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
Working families 30 free hours for 1-4 year olds and the Universal Entitlement of 15 free hours for all 3-4 year olds.
Worth knowing. The government funding we receive for the 'free hours' does not cover the full cost of delivery of the EYFS curriculum... the delivery of our Montessori curriculum is charged as an additional service. This is invoiced monthly as part of your nursery fees.
What childcare usually costs in Westminster
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Westminster 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £160.00 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.
