Funded hours
15-hour and 30-hour government childcare funding, including term-time funding and school holiday options; registered to accept Free Early Education Entitlements for children aged 9 months to 4 years.
Worth knowing. 30 hours funding is term-time only (38 weeks per year). Funding does not apply during school holidays; attendance during school holidays is charged at the full nursery rate. Parents must choose to opt in or opt out of school holidays. If opting in, you are required to pay for the same days and hours that your funding covers during term time. Funding does not cover meals and snacks, nappies and wipes, additional activities or extras.
What childcare usually costs in Southwark
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Southwark from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Where it is
SE16 2HUWhat Ofsted found, area by area
Since November 2025 Ofsted gives a standard in each of seven areas rather than one overall grade. Expected standard means it is doing what it should.
What the inspector found
One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

Still missing for Skallywags
- Meals
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £74.00 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.
- 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.
