Funding & Fees

At St Francis Nursery, government funding (which only covers term-time) is stretched across the full year, based on a 51-week year (referred to as a ‘stretched offer’).

Therefore:
• 15 hours of government funding equates to 11 hours per week (EL2 Funding)

• 30 hours of government funding equates to 22 hours per week. Any provision required above this is chargeable.

However, for families accessing EL2 funding, we may be able to offer a total of 12.5 hours per week at no additional cost, subject to availability. This ensures your child can access up to five 2.5 hour nursery sessions per week.

Private hours are costed at a flat fee of £8 per hour.

Our daughters experience at the school has been great and we are so happy they got her in. St Francis Nursery and family center is not just a school but a family place as the children are so welcome and looked after by their dedicated and hard working staff.

Review from Corral S (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An amazing nursery would recommend to all my friends and family. The staff are super friendly and communicate well with parents at drop off and pick up. My son is non verbal and suspected autistic the staff do an amazing job making me and my son feel welcomed at every session. They allow long settling in for as long as my child needed and provide the same members of staff to settle my son every session. They communicate well and offer meetings and updates of my child's day and progress. They discuss my child's development and buy things to help my child settle and enjoy his nursery experience ( weighted blanket when he's over stimulated, water prof suit so he can lay down when he plays outside ect. They allow meetings with parents to discuss child's development and tips on how to further development at home. A small class setting for children perfect for a first nursery.(8-10 children).They are a very caring facility and their main aim is child's safety, education and care
