What it costs

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

£8.30 an hour
Early Years Hourly Rate £8.30

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

Funded hours

All eligible children access to claim their government funded places for all children.

Worth knowing. We will stretch your funding entitlement equally across the number of days attended and charge an hourly rate for any additional hours. We reserve the right to limit and/or have specific funded sessions, according to our business requirements.

What childcare usually costs in Lincolnshire

£6.00an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£5.75an 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 Lincolnshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

£8.30 an hour is above the Lincolnshire median of £5.75 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £8.30 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.
