Nursery Fees and Funding
Funding
All 3 and 4 years olds in England are entitled to 15 hours per week of government-funded childcare for 38 weeks of the year, starting from the term after their third birthday. Working families who meet specific eligibility criteria will be entitled to an additional 15 hours of government funding (30 hours per week in total). See our nursery Q&A for more details on eligibility criteria for 30 hours and the process for claiming this benefit.
If you do not meet the criteria for the 30 hours government funding, we are able to offer the option of self-funding the additional 15 hours at a fixed cost per session. We also offer a chargeable lunch club covering the period from the end of our morning session to the start of the afternoon session, the cost of which includes the provision of a hot school meal.
Our fees
Fees apply for sessions not covered by available government funding as outlined above. Lunch club is always chargeable. For example, if you are entitled to 15 hours of universal government funding but wish to access a full-time (30 hours) place, you will need to pay for the remaining 5 sessions each week plus daily Lunch Club. If you are entitled to 30 hours of government funding, you would only need to pay for Lunch Club each day.
