Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Government funded nursery places for children from 9 months up to 4-year-olds for working parents; Some children of working parents are eligible for 30 hours of Government funding the term after their child is 9 months old; Families in receipt of additional support may be entitled to 15 hours of Funded Nursery Entitlement for their child, the term after their second birthday.
Worth knowing. Parents can ‘top-up’ funded provision; working parents will pay a meal payment for each session at £2.75 per meal.
What childcare usually costs in Hartlepool
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hartlepool 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
TS24 9PAWhat 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 St. John Vianney Primary School Childcare
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £15.00 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.
