Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 02037803045, our friendly team is here to help.

Parent testimonials taken from daynurseries.co.uk.

"A wonderful nursery run by an incredible manager. The staff are obviously all happy and care so warmly and enthusiastically for every child. We have been parents at the nursery since 2018 and my daughter and son have had six very happy years between them."
Ali R, Parent
"The staff are so attentive, they care for the children as if they were their own. They are proactive in updating the app during the day, very thorough run down of the day in the evening (if you benefit from this, very parent lead) and regular parent/key worker evening to discuss child development and even the odd parent social."
J H, Parent
"Our son joined the baby room just a few months ago and we've had a great experience so far. We felt really supported through the settling-in period, the staff are really caring and they all have something to say about our son's day."
J P, Parent
