Funded hours

Funded 3 & 4 Year Old, ELF2 2 year old children term time only.

Worth knowing. The funding covers the basic core elements, but does not cover Food, Consumables, and the Extra Activities.

What childcare usually costs in Devon

£6.00an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£5.56an 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 Devon from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £68.00 a day 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.
