Nursery fees in Greenhithe: two simple options.

Your funded hours cost you nothing. You only pay for hours above them, and for Inclusive if you choose it.

30 hours is 1,140 hours a year, meant for school term time. We are open 50 weeks, so we spread them across the whole year: 95 hours a month, 22.8 hours a week, which covers about two 10-hour days a week. 15 hours is 570 a year, 47.5 hours a month, 11.4 hours a week, about one day a week.

Funding covers up to 10 hours a day, up to your monthly total. Our day is 11 hours, so there is always a little to pay, and once your funded hours for the week are used up, the rest of your days are charged at our normal rate. Every day still costs less than it would without funding.

Your day is 07:30 to 18:30, 11 hours, and that is the day every price here is for. Funded sessions are 10 hours; if a 10-hour day suits you better, talk to us and we will arrange it.

Hours only is your childcare hours; you bring everything your child needs for the day: food, nappies, wipes, sun cream. Inclusive means we take care of all of it: a freshly cooked premium menu with every meal and snack of the day, nappies and wipes until preschool, sun cream, and the enrichment and local activities we run. Nothing to pack, nothing to add. Inclusive is £9 a day in the baby and toddler rooms and £7 in preschool.

No. Either option works with funded hours, and choosing Hours only makes no difference to your place.

We add up the year and split it into 12 equal payments, so a month with a bank holiday costs the same as a month without. Nothing is charged for bank holidays or the Christmas week; that is already built into the figure.

Monthly by direct debit, in advance. Tax-Free Childcare and childcare vouchers can be used towards it.

It holds your child's place and is collected with your first payment. It is refunded in full when your child leaves, as long as your account is settled and you have given notice. It is never a condition of a funded place.

Yes. A half day is 5.5 hours, morning or afternoon. An ad hoc day is charged for that day only, when the room has space. Prices are above. Funded hours do not apply to ad hoc days.

Yes. Speak to the management team and we will work with whatever we have available in your room. Days can be changed each month, as long as you tell us before your next payment goes out. Leaving is different: that needs 6 weeks' written notice.

£15 for every 15 minutes after your collection time.

You apply through Childcare Choices on gov.uk, which gives you a code to hand to us, and you reconfirm that code every three months. All 3 and 4 year olds get 15 hours; working families can get 30 hours from the term after their child turns nine months. If any of that is unclear, pop in and we will sit down with you and go through it. We do this every week and we are happy to walk you through the whole thing.

We review fees once a year and give at least one month’s notice of any change.

No, never. Settling in is part of starting with us, not an extra. We will agree a few short visits with you beforehand so your child arrives somewhere that already feels familiar, and you will not be charged for any of them.
