Our Nursery Fees

We know how challenging it is as a young family to find the money for childcare fees. We believe in equality of opportunity for all, regardless of parental income levels. Therefore, all funded and non-funded children have access to all activities, snacks and outings, with no extra costs. 
Your child's government funding may be used for all sessions. Only hours over and above the weekly funded hours will be chargeable. 

Funding options available

There are a number of different types of funding available to help you pay for nursery fees. If you are not sure for what you may be eligible,  the following link is the best place to start.

Best Start in Life

2 year old funding

Some 2 year olds in Brighton & Hove are now entitled to receive up to 15 hours a week of childcare support, or 570 hours spread across the year.

Funding for working parents from 9 months to 4 years

  • Eligible working parents of children from 9 months to school age will be entitled to 1,140 hours of childcare, spread across the year.

3 & 4 year old funding

  • All 3 and 4 year olds can get up to 570 hours of free early learning. These hours are spread across the year and begin from the term after their third birthday.

Tax-free childcare

You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. This goes up to £1,000 every 3 months if a child is disabled (up to £4,000 a year).

If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider.

You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.
