What childcare usually costs in Kingston upon Thames

£8.00an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£8.40an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kingston upon Thames from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

£9.50 an hour is about the same as the Kingston upon Thames median of £8.00 an hour. The median covers every provider in the council, including childminders, so a nursery sitting above it is normal.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £9.50 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
  • Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
