We calculate your bill by taking the daily rate and multiplying it by the amount of sessions you require. We then multiply by 52 weeks and divide by 12 months.

This will give you the same figure for every month. For example:

2 full days per week (7.30am to 6.30pm) for a child is £64 x 2 = £128 x 52 weeks = £6656 divided by 12 months = £554.67 per month

A morning session will incur a lunch fee of £5.50

Nursery Funded Education sessions are paid for by the government and overseen by the local authority. We require to have seen your child’s birth certificate. This means that your child will become entitled to free nursery sessions over 38 weeks of the year and up to 15 hours per week once your child is 3 years old. You can start the term after their 3rd birthday and this continues until they start full time school. You can vary your hours but this must be finalised at the beginning of each term. We also offer stretched funding over the year.

For the two year old free 15 hour government funding this is subject to approval via the local authority and on production of the relevant documentation and can be over 38 weeks or stretched funding over the year

For families who are entitled to 30 hours free government funding, you will require your code which will be verified with Medway Council. For details of how this works at our nursery please call the Chatham nursery management team on 01634 786 500 and speak to Kelly or Agi.
