Our Fees & Funding
Please see our children’s day nursery fee rates in Bretton, Peterborough below. However, these rates do not take into account Funded Early years Entitlement hours so you may get them a lot cheaper. If you wish to utilise your free entitlement along (click here for details) with some additional fee-paying hours we will be happy to discuss with you to assist you in calculating the costs for your child.
We are delighted to accept all Funded Early years places with entitlement hours spread across the year. (We can not accept term time only places as we still have to pay the nursery staff all year).
Peterborough Council allows us to accept funding partway through terms which not all councils do so please just ask our manager.

Other costs
The fees above include ALL meals, drinks and snacks freshly prepared by our nursery chefs on site. Funding only covers the child care hence the day nursery does need to charge for your child’s meals when they attend day nursery:
- Morning £5.75
- Afternoon £4.75
- All day £10.25
Booking deposit
The nursery requires a refundable deposit to secure your child’s place ( no deposit required for fully funded hours). Deposits are as follows:
- 2 sessions a week – £150
- 3 or 4 sessions a week – £200
- 5 sessions a week – £250
- 2, 3 or 4 year old children accessing funded only hours – £0
We cannot secure your child’s day nursery place until the deposit is paid and a copy of our terms and conditions has been signed and returned to us. The deposit will be refunded as a deduction from your final invoice.
Session Registration Fee
So we can plan our nursery spaces, we do need a registration fee in addition to the deposit set out above, we require a non-refundable registration fee of £50. This will, however, be refunded at the end of month 1 for children accessing fully funded hours.
Additional information
So your child can settle into the day nursery, a minimum of 2 half-day sessions is required (can be taken as one full-day session or two-half day sessions).
Fees are based on 51 weeks per year paid monthly in advance by direct debit. The nursery will be closed on all Bank Holidays (normal charges will apply). No refunds will be given for sickness or holidays. The nursery will be closed from 25th December and reopen on 2nd January (subject to variation).
