Fees and funding information
Fees
Nursery fees September 2025- April 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 daily morning snack and hot lunch.
Consumable fee covers all of the important daily care items needed such as wet wipes, suncream, soap plus other health and hygiene essentials.

Funding
We accept funding for 2, 3 & 4-year olds at The Nursery School between the hours of 8.45am and 3.15pm each day. This includes disadvantaged 2-year old funding, Working Parent Entitlement for 2, 3 & 4 year olds, as well as the 3 & 4-year old universal hours.
​
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 still 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.
