About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Both my children are attending the setting. They leave excited for nursery and come home super happy after a fun-filled day. The staff are super supportive, to both children and parents alike. As a military family, they've supported us through deployment by making sure the children had extra support and resources available. They carefully plan each week with a different learning theme, offering a variety of activities and really making the most of the local area. Overall, we've seen such progress with our children, they talk so fondly of all key workers and both have become super confident little beings since joining. We can't thank the staff enough.
All the staff at RAFA Kidz are fantastic. My daughter loves to spend her time there and always comes home and tells me about what she has learned. I feel very happy knowing she's there, safe and very well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone.

Our son started at the nursery just before it changed to RAFA Kidz Boulmer. The nursery was in a little need of a re-vamp, but since being taken over it has been totally transformed. There are lots of new toys for the children to play with and everything has had a really good freshen-up giving the nursery a new lease of life. All of the staff are so lovely and I feel content that our son is in good hands. I would definitely recommend this nursery. Our son has really taken to his 2 days a week here and we can see a big difference in his development.

My child's keyworker and the manager, in particular, have been a huge support to my family and I over the past year. Our little one has attended nursery for over a year here and all staff are lovely with our little one. Our little one has additional needs and we feel that the nursery have been proactive in signposting us to appropriate agencies and are supporting us through our journey.
The nursery revamp looks brilliant. My daughter runs in in the mornings, never looking back! She loves all the girls and I feel I can easily ask them questions if need be. Fantastic nursery, would recommend it to everyone.
