Our Fees
Every April,we review nursery fees to reflect rising costs associated with the national living wage, minimum wage, business rates, staff pensions etc. The updated childcare fees, effective from April 2026, can be found below.
Due to the minimal childcare funding increase, we have also had to adjust costs not covered by gonvernment support. This includes expenses for meals and snacks, as well as consumables (such as cream, wipes, tissues) and enrichment activities, such as baking club and external music sessions, that we provide to maintain our high standards for all children in our care.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Nursery Options and Fees from 1st April 2026 - 1st April 2027
