Fees & Funding

Funded Hours
We accept both 15-hour universal and 30-hour extended funded childcare for all eligible children.
Early years funding alone does not cover the full cost of the enhanced provision we offer. Children attending funded sessions therefore access our Education, Health & Wellbeing Package, which is charged (at £10 per session) alongside their funded hours and contributes towards the additional experiences, resources and opportunities that form part of everyday life at The Nestlings.
Unfunded Hours
Children who are not yet eligible for funding, or who attend additional hours outside of their funded entitlement, are charged at our standard rates listed below.
Prices are effective from April 2026 and are reviewed annually. We reserve the right to amend our fees following any annual review.
Minimum Sessions
To give children consistency, strong relationships and the opportunity to fully settle into life at The Nestlings, we have a minimum weekly attendance requirement:
-
Robins (2-year-olds)- 3 sessions per week
-
Wrens (3–4-year-olds)- 5 sessions per week
-
Red Kites Reception class (4–5-year-olds)- 6 sessions per week
Sessions can be funded, privately paid, or a combination of both.

Parent Support Hub
At The Nestlings, children's safety, wellbeing and family support are at the heart of everything we do. Here, you'll find trusted links, local guidance and helplines covering key areas parents often ask about.
