Funding
Our privately funded prices include everything your child needs for their day at nursery, such as nappies, wipes, water, milk, breakfast (before 8.30am), morning and afternoon snacks and a home-cooked hot lunch. If your baby requires breast milk, you will need to bring this to the nursery, where we will safely store it and feed your child throughout the day.
Your fees are paid monthly and depend on the hours you need and whether you are eligible for the free entitlement. As a guide, a full-time place which is Monday to Friday, 7.30am–6.00pm, offers the best value.
You may be entitled to 15 or 30 hours of free childcare.
Check free childcare eligibilityFunding is available for 38 weeks of the year, but we are open 52 weeks, so we stretch the funding over 52 weeks, meaning that 15 hours becomes 11 hours, and 30 hours becomes 22 hours. For operational reasons, we can only offer 29 hours (= 21 hours stretched) of funding to parents whose child attends 3 days per week, and 20 hours (= 15 hours stretched) of funding to parents whose child attends 2 days per week.
Most working parents will also be eligible for Tax-Free Childcare support which can save you up to £2,000 per year.
Check Tax-Free Childcare eligibilityIf you are entitled to 15 hours funding a week and you wish to take this without any additional sessions, the funding will be split over 2 days: 10am–3.30pm.
If you are entitled to 30 hours funding a week and you wish to take this without any additional sessions, then we have a few options which are set out in the table below.
Please see the table below for details of all of our free childcare sessions and additional optional charges.

Any additional care required outside of funded hours is purely optional and is charged for.
A daily lunch charge of £3.82 is payable on funded days if you wish to have a home-cooked nutritious lunch provided. This is a voluntary charge. Should parents not want to pay for the lunch then we kindly ask that they provide a packed lunch for their child, following our packed lunch guidance to promote a healthy and balanced diet.
There are no other consumables charges for parents to pay for during funded sessions.
