Fees & Funding


Updated September 2026 – New fees and session arrangements effective 
from 2nd November 2026

Goslings Nursery School is open term-time only for 36 weeks of the year.

As the early years landscape continues to evolve, we have reviewed our session structure and fees to make Goslings as flexible, accessible and affordable as possible for families, whilst continuing to provide the high-quality care and learning experiences our children deserve.

FUNDED CHILDCARE

We accept eligible Government-funded childcare entitlements, including the 15-hour and 30-hour funded offers.

Eligibility for funded childcare is determined by the Government. For eligible working families, parents must apply through their HMRC account and provide us with their valid funding code.

30-HOUR FUNDED OFFER

For children eligible for the 30-hour funded entitlement, our funded sessions are:

DAY FUNDED HOURS
Monday 9:10am – 2:55pm
Tuesday 9:10am – 4:00pm
Wednesday 9:10am – 2:55pm
Thursday 9:10am – 4:00pm
Friday 9:10am – 2:00pm

This provides eligible children with access to their full 30 funded hours per week across the 36 weeks that Goslings operates.

Families do not have to use all of the available hours. We are happy to discuss alternative attendance patterns depending on your family’s individual requirements and your child’s funding entitlement.

15-HOUR FUNDED OFFER

Children accessing the universal 15-hour entitlement can use their funded hours within our available sessions.

We will work with families to arrange their funded hours according to their child’s individual attendance pattern.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss how your child’s 15 funded hours can be used at Goslings.

These contributions are entirely voluntary and are not a condition of accessing your child’s funded place.

We are extremely grateful to families who are able and willing to contribute. These contributions help us to continue providing the additional resources and experiences that make Goslings such a special environment for children.

EARLY DROP-OFF

For families who require an earlier start, we offer an early drop-off from 8:45am.

Children can be dropped off at any point between 8:45am and 9:10am.

This is a separate charge and cannot be claimed using funded hours, as it falls outside of the funded childcare session.

FRIDAY EXTENSION

For children accessing funded hours, Friday funding finishes at 2:00pm.

Families who would like their child to stay until 3:00pm can book the additional hour for:

This is optional, and families can choose to collect their child at 2:00pm.

PRIVATE/NON-FUNDED FEES

For families who are not in receipt of Government-funded childcare, our private fees from 2 November 2026 will be:

The £5 early drop-off charge applies in addition to the above fees where an earlier start is required.

Funded childcare can be confusing, particularly as Government funding arrangements continue to change.

If you are unsure about your eligibility, need help with your funding code, or would like to discuss how your child’s funded hours could work around your family’s needs, please contact us.
