How much are we paying for nurseries?

Is this a month or a week? And are you looking at term time only or all year?

A month and it’s all year round excluding bank holidays

That does seem quite expensive if that’s with the funded hours and tax free childcare x

This seems closer to the amount I paid when my son got 15 hours, not 30. Do you have a few months of receiving 15hours first? I think it’s likely my youngest will because of when the codes application vs his birthday lands. I’m expecting a month or so of higher costs and then getting the full 30 after.

£27 a month, that’s for food only as everything else is covered by the hours. She goes 25 hours a week

(This is for my 2 year old that fully qualifies for 30 hours)
My early May baby starts in April but will be this or less as she’s going less hours at first

Currently my eldest goes 16h a week and we pay £0.

He will be going 24h a week from Jan and I will expect to pay no more than £200 a month

It really depends on where you are and unfortunately all nurseries apply the funding differently. For 30 hours we can get 2 days a week for £20 a day. So £160 a month. On top of that we'd be paying full rate of approx £70 a day so £400ish for 3 days for a month.

Our nursery is still expensive too despite funded hours, don’t know the exact figures off the top of my head but I was so annoyed when talking to other mums about their nursery fees. I think every nursery does their funded hours differently but we chose this nursery because of how we felt about it so I guess that’s the price you pay!

We were quoted £900 for 2 days without the funding.
So I’m going back in April when she’s 1 and getting the funding and we won’t pay a thing because of that x

It does seem a bit high! We’ve been quoted around £700/£750 a month for 4 full days. So the price you’ve been given isn’t far off that for one whole day less a week!
There are some nurseries that do charge more if they see themselves as a premium type of nursery. I know a nursery I used to work at would probably charge around that amount and that’s why I’ve found a cheaper alternative!
It might be worth finding out what their daily rate is and how much their consumables charge is to see why it works out so expensive!
Our daily rate is £80 a day I think, and consumables are £12 for each funded day. Something like that!

this seems a lot… my daughter does 1-6 2x a week and 9-3 another. It costs us about £156 - that’s including consumables (£13 a day)

In Scotland there’s no funded hours - so we have to pay ~ £450 for 2 x days a week for our 2 year old. Not looking forward to that doubling when my younger son goes too! 😭

Ours does fluctuate based on how many days per month but currently for 4 mornings per week for my eldest I pay around £150 per month with the 30 hours. It obviously then reduces with the 20%. This includes consumables and an extra payment for early entry in a morning

I pay around £500 a month which includes the 30 funded hours, my daughter does 3 days a week I pay for 6:30am until 6:30pm although she’s doesn’t actually go that many hours a day. It also includes some extra activities like sports, dance and forest school which are a bit extra.
