At Chichester Nursery School, our fees reflect the high quality of care, education, and nurturing environment we provide for every child. They cover our experienced staff, carefully planned learning activities, and the resources that support your child’s development during their time with us.

Government Funded Hours (From 9 Months)
Chichester Nursery School is pleased to offer Government-funded childcare for eligible children from 9 months of age, helping families access high-quality early education from the very start of their child’s learning journey.
From the term after your child turns 9 months, eligible working families may be able to access 30 hours of funded childcare, depending on their circumstances. Funded hours are available during term time and can be used across a pattern of sessions, subject to availability. While the funding covers the cost of early education, additional charges may apply for hot meals or hours taken beyond the funded entitlement.
We are happy to guide you through the eligibility and application process, and answer any questions you may have, about how funded hours can be used at Chichester Nursery School. If you require more information on your entitlement, visit the Childcare choices tab below, or the admissions tab to contact admissions directly.
