Funding & Fees

Accepts government fundingAccepts tax-free childcare

Typical monthly cost for a 3-days place

£413/ month

Fees are annualised and paid monthly: daily fee × 51 weeks ÷ 12. We close for one week at Christmas; bank holidays (other than Christmas week) and inset days are charged. A 3% discount applies to 4-day bookings and 5% to 5-day bookings, with a 5% sibling discount. Minimum booking is 2 days a week, or 3 days for children using 30 hours funding. Private fees include all meals, formula milk, nappies, creams, wipes, sun cream, resources and extra activities. On funded hours we ask for a voluntary consumables charge of £1.50 per funded hour (food 75p, activities 25p, consumables 50p). Parents may opt out and provide a packed lunch and their own supplies instead. A limited number of funded-only places are available: up to 10 hours a week (15 hours funding) or 20 hours (30 hours). These must be on consecutive days including a Monday or Friday, and need a £50 refundable deposit.

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 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
  • This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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.
