Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
3 year old funding: 15 hours free funding, usually taken as 15 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year. An additional 15 hours of funding is available to Parents/Carers who qualify under the new government guidelines. 2 year old funding: Some families may be eligible for funding for their 2 year old.
Worth knowing. Working families funded hours incurs a voluntary consumables fee of £1.20 per hour.
What childcare usually costs in York
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in York from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £16.50 a session 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.
