What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
We deliver the government's Early Education Funding stretched across 50 weeks of the year.
Worth knowing. Core funded hours are 100% free of charge, including all meals, snacks, and consumables. Sessions taken during our core funded hours have no hidden extras or supplementary charges. Funding is applied strictly during our designated core hours each day (up to our setting maximum).
What childcare usually costs in Oxfordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Oxfordshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
