Fees and funding information
Fees
Nursery fees April 2026- September 2026
Our fees are broken into three components. These are the education fee, food charge and consumables for your child.
The education fee includes trained, qualified staff to take care of your child, regular updates about your child and their progress at The Nursery School, a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities tailored to the needs and interests of your child, and the use of The Nursery School facilities.
The food charge covers the cost of all food and drinks that we provide your child with. This includes a morning snack, a hot lunch and an afternoon snack.
The consumable fee covers all of the important daily care items needed such as wet wipes, sun cream, nappy disposal, cooking ingredients, sensory play items plus other health and hygiene essentials.
​
Children will be required to attend a minimum of two sessions per week at The Nursery School to help them settle into nursery, develop relationships with other children and establish a secure routine (breakfast club and after-school club do not count as sessions).

For child in receipt of government funding, this covers your child’s education fee for 38 weeks of the year during term-time.
You will be asked to pay a food charge and consumable charge for each session that your child attends. These charges are optional; however, you will be asked to provide all food and consumables for your child if you notify us if you do not wish to pay this optional charge.
