*Children attending a full day will be required to bring a healthy, packed lunch from home.

We offer an enhanced curriculum at Lovel End Nursery and do charge a one-off fee of £150 for these extra curricular activites. More information on this and our snacks and consumables charge can be found here.

Fee Changes

Our fees are reviewed each Spring term by the committee for the following academic year. We will be transparent with our fee structure during the admissions process. If in extenuating circumstances, the committee decide that we have to increase fees for reasons beyond our control, parents will always be given a minimum of one month's notice of this.

Funding

The Nursery is registered with Ofsted, the Buckinghamshire Early Years Childcare & Education Partnership and we are members of the Pre-School Learning Alliance as well as being a registered charity.

We are open term time only (38 weeks) from 9:00am - 3:00pm.

We accept government funding of both 15 hours and 30 hours towards the cost of a nursery place for children aged 3 & 4 years old.

Universal funded children are encouraged to attend five sessions per week, 15 funded hours are allocated to each child, 3 hours in each session.

The minimum number of sessions accepted is 3 per week (9 hours) which must be split across three days to ensure consistency for the children.

Healthy packed lunches are to be provided by parents for those children attending a full day.

From September 2025, 15 hours for eligible working families will expand to 30 hours, meaning eligible working parents can now apply for 30 hours of childcare from the term after their child turns 9 months, until they start school.

Please visit the childcare choices website for more information on the funding opions and to check your eligibility.
