Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
30 hours free childcare for eligible 9-month-olds, 15- or 30-hours free childcare for eligible 2-year-olds, 15- or 30-hours free childcare for all 3 and 4-year-olds.
Worth knowing. The funding received for funded hours does not include these costs and so we reserve the right to charge for these additional costs. Parents will be advised regarding this. Children eligible for the 15 hours funding and 30 hours funding schemes will be charged for additional hours taken over and above the scheme. In order to remain eligible for 30 hours funding the onus is on parents to reconfirm their eligibility via HMRC every 3 months or when prompted to do so. We are open 51 weeks of the yea.
What childcare usually costs in Hertfordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hertfordshire 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 Small World Nursery (Watford) CIC
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £99.00 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.
