Nurseries in South Derbyshire

In South Derbyshire, children can usually start private nursery from around 3 months old, subject to provider availability. Government-funded early education starts the term after a child's 3rd birthday, with earlier eligibility 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 per week. There is also funded support for some 2-year-olds and for working parents of children from 9 months old to receive 30 hours per week for eligible families. 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 South Derbyshire usually range from £50-£90 per day, depending on age group, hours and extras.

All nurseries in South Derbyshire are regulated by Ofsted, with early years funding overseen by Derbyshire County Council.
