Frequently Asked Questions
In Camden, private nurseries usually accept children from around 3 months old. Funded early education begins the term after a child’s 3rd birthday, with earlier eligibility possible for some 2-year-olds or working parents.
In England, all 3 and 4-year-olds can receive 15 hours of funded early education per week during term time, with many working families eligible for up to 30 hours. There is also funded support for some 2-year-olds based on household circumstances, and entitlement for working parents of children from 9 months old to receive 30 hours per week for eligible families. The exact offer and start dates depend on your child’s age, your work status and when their birthday falls in the school year. Families can also benefit from Tax-Free Childcare if both working parents earn less than £100k per year. For every £8 a parent pays into their online childcare account, the government adds an extra £2 up to a maximum of £2,000 per child per year.
Nursery fees in Camden typically range from £100–£175 per day, especially near Regent’s Park and central transport hubs.
