What a funded hour still costs
Funded hours cover the childcare. These are charged alongside them.
- £3.00 to £5.00 a half day additional service contribution chargeWhen accessing a funded half day
Funded hours
Two year old FEET funding, 15 and 30 hours working parent entitlement.
Worth knowing. Funded hours are between 9am - 4pm. When accessing a funded day, an additional service contribution charge is applied at £5 per day or £3 per half day. You are entitled to opt out of the additional service contribution, if you wish, and we can provide a list of items that you will need to bring every day for your child to access while at preschool.
What childcare usually costs in Surrey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Surrey from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £9.00 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.
