Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Universal Entitlement: All 3- and four-year olds can receive up to 15 hours funded early education per week over 38 weeks of the year or you can ‘stretch’ this entitlement, offered as 11 hours per week over the year. Extended Entitlement: Two, Three- and four-year-olds of working parents may also be entitled to additional hours. Eligible families can receive 30 hours funded per week for their chil.
Worth knowing. All funded hours can be claimed for preschool sessions only between the hours of 9.15am – 3.15pm.
What childcare usually costs in Peterborough
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Peterborough 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 Sunflower Seed Preschool
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £20.10 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.
