Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
15 funded hours per week: The 'universal entitlement' for all children available from the term after they turned 3 years old and Available for Families with children aged 2 years receiving some form of assistance. 30 funded hours per week - Working Parents' entitlement: Available for children from 9 months old meeting Working Parents' eligibility criteria.
Worth knowing. The funded hours are available from the term after the child's relevant birthday. These are for 38 weeks per academic year ('Term Time attendance'), alternatively the hours can be stretched with reduced weekly funded hours across all full weeks of our operating year ('Stretched or Full Year attendance').
What childcare usually costs in Sutton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sutton 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 happy and well settled in this calm, welcoming nursery. Staff greet children warmly and respond sensitively to help children settle in. They build positive relationships from the start, which helps children feel safe and secure.
Children are friendly and pleased to see their friends. Pre-school children play together to make tunnels for cars to roll through. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They teach them simple yoga and meditation to support them to have calm moments during the day.
Children have very positive attitudes to learning. They are excited to explore the wide range of 'real' objects in the environment. They are curious to peel the papery skin from onions and make music on an old guitar. Children develop their physical skills, particularly outdoors. They learn to balance on beams and play ball games.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further extend the opportunities for children who speak EAL to hear and speak their own languages.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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