Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Up to 15 hours per week of childcare funded by the council for 3 and 4 year olds; 30 hours childcare (additional 15 hours) if both parents work and each earn below £100,000 a year; 2 year old funding - 15 hours of funded childcare for eligible working parents since April 2024.
Worth knowing. Forest Rangers fee of £3 per week is not payable if we receive EYPP for your child, or if they were a funded 2-year-old with us. Voluntary session donation of £1 per session is asked regardless of whether or not they are paying for childcare.
What childcare usually costs in Wiltshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wiltshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Still missing for Rub-A-Dub Pre-School
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £6.54 an hour 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.
- 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.
