  • £32 a day for food/drinks/nappies etc.

    This is for kiddies under 2 though, i think it cheaper for older kiddies.

    We paid £333 per month for full time (8-6 monday to friday) - but that was subsidised NHS nursery. Would defo consider the childminder - we used both and preferred minder, much more personal amd flexible.

    We pay £871.25 a month for an over 2 for 5 days a week. Under 2's are about 15-20% more I think.

    This nursery is quite cheap for our area (Surrey), and includes all meals and snacks, but not nappies, formula, suncream etc.

    My nursery charges £28 a day including all meals and snacks.This is the charge for a 2 year old. Most nurseries do a discount for full-time but even so this will take a very large chunk of mum's wages and will be very stressful! We live in derbyshire.

    Our local pre-school which runs from 9 - 3:30 charges £13 a day. They take children from 2 years old. It is always full and is absolutly excellent I will really miss it when my youngest goes to school. Also you get partial funding when they turn 3.
    Loving the dtd thread. x

    Hi

    I pay £24 per day for a 3 year old (I believe it is closer to £26 for an under 2). But that is in a village in South Wales so things are a little cheaper. Another nursery that she used to attend cost more but was in a more central part of town and therefore had higher costs.

    sounds more like a day nursery ?

    pre schools / playgroups is sessional "play" not childcare ,morning or afternoon for 2.5 - 3 hours per session usually :confused:
