Fees, Sessions & Funded Hours

We understand Nursery fees are an important part of choosing the right Nursery for your child, so we aim to make our costs as clear and straightforward as possible. Below you will find our session options, what is included, how the government funded hours apply, and where to find the full fee schedule.

How sessions work

We ask for a minimum of two full days and one half day each week, so that your child settles into a rhythm and builds real friendships. Beyond that minimum you choose the pattern that works for your family, and we will talk it through with you before you commit.

  • Full day: 8am – 6pm
  • Half day, morning: 8am – 1pm
  • Half day, afternoon: 1pm – 6pm
  • Breakfast Club from 7:30am, £4.00 per day
  • Tea at the end of the day, £4.00 per day (not charged for those attending a full day)

Government funded childcare hours

Eligible working families in England can now claim up to 30 funded hours a week from the age of nine months until their child starts school. Families who are not eligible for the working parent entitlement can still claim 15 funded hours a week for three- and four-year-olds, and some two-year-olds qualify on other grounds.

We accept funded hours and they come off your invoice. Funded hours are term time only and cover the childcare element, so where your child is with us for longer than the funded entitlement, or for additional services such as meals or Breakfast Club, those are charged separately. We will discuss exactly what your invoice looks like before you register, so there are no surprises.

You can check your eligibility and get your code at childcarechoices.gov.uk. Send us the code and we will do the rest.
