What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Our nursery fees as of April 2025 our hourly fee will be £7.80 an hour. This is for all ages.
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
Nursery Education Funding (NEF) for 2, 3 and 4yr olds, up to 30 hours (Universal NEF) from the term after they turn 2.
Worth knowing. As of September 2020 all NEF can be used for nursery hours only between the times of 8.30am and 3.30pm. All additional hours are chargeable.

- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7.80 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.
- Is there a place for my child's age? 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.
