Your questions.
Our warmest welcome.

Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll contact you to discuss availability and arrange a visit. Share your preferred sessions and funding entitlement so we can prepare for our conversation.

Start with your enquiry

Enquire about a place

Tell us what you’re looking for so Elaine can discuss availability, sessions and costs with you, then arrange a visit. Submit the form to send your enquiry directly to the nursery.

1. Your family and contact details
2. Your childcare preferences

Share what you know so far. Your start month and sessions can be left open for discussion.

Not sure yet? Leave this blank. This won’t affect your estimate.

Which nursery sessions would you like? (optional)

Choose one session for each day you need. We’ll use this pattern to discuss availability and fees with you.

Choose the entitlement before it is stretched across the year: 15 or 30 hours per week over 38 weeks. Not sure? Read our funding guide (opens in a new tab). The nursery team will confirm eligibility and your child’s funded allocation. Please do not enter a funding code here.

Optional: £4 for a fully funded morning, £1 for a fully funded afternoon, or £5 for a fully funded day. No contribution is added for a partly paid block because its private price includes food. Meals remain available if you do not contribute.

3. Your estimate and enquiry

You can enquire without an estimate. Choose at least one session to see an indicative cost based on your child’s current age.

Your childcare estimate

See your estimated cost

Enter a birth month, funding choice and at least one session to see an estimate.

How this estimate works
  • Age band is based on your child’s birth month and the current month; exact birthday changes are confirmed by the team.
  • The estimate allocates your selected funding to Playmates. Funding uses a standard 51-week pattern: 11 hours weekly for the 15-hour entitlement, or 22 hours for the 30-hour entitlement. Where eligible for the full year, 9 or 18 remaining annual hours are agreed separately.
  • This estimate places funding across your selected weekdays, mornings first, then afternoons. Your actual funded pattern and availability are agreed with the nursery.
  • Fully private days use the published full-day price. Whole paid morning or afternoon sessions use their session price. Partly funded sessions use the unfunded proportion of that session price, with full-day childcare capped at its private tariff.
  • Voluntary food is included only if you select it and have indicated either 15 or 30 hours of funding. Food contributions apply only to fully funded morning or afternoon blocks; no extra food is added to partly paid blocks.
  • The monthly equivalent is the weekly amount × 51 ÷ 12, not four weeks. It assumes an unchanged weekly booking and current age-band price. Actual invoices may differ as age bands or arrangements change.
  • Eligibility, annual funding balance, availability and final charges are confirmed in your nursery agreement. No Tax-Free Childcare or other benefit has been deducted.

Please leave medical details, funding codes and documents for a later conversation.

We use your enquiry to respond and discuss your childcare needs and a visit. Read our privacy policy. This form prepares an email on your device; you’ll need to send it from your email app. Your visit is confirmed only when the nursery team agrees a time with you.
