Deerness Valley Nursery School
Sessions and Prices
We are currently planning some changes to the set up of our nursery day, and so watch this space for details about how our day will run from September 2023.
Currently, we are open from 8am to 5pm as our core hours. In those hours we have 3 sessions which we call Breakfast, Lunch and Tea.
You can book:
Three hours - Breakfast (8am-11am) or Tea (2pm-5pm)
Six hours - Breakfast and Lunch (8am-2pm) or Lunch and Tea (11am-5pm)
Nine hours - All Day (8am-5pm)
The prices for these sessions depend on how old your child is. Like almost all businesses our prices are under-review given the current financial climate and rising costs in all areas. Please get in touch to find out our current session fees.
Unlike other places our session prices are all-inclusive. There are no other charges or fees to pay. Every session includes all activities happening that day, meals, snacks and drinks, reusable cloth nappies and wipes.
We are open 48 weeks a year, and do not offer term time only spaces. We stretch funding to cover the weeks we are open.

Funded Sessions
All 3 to 5 year olds get 15 hours of Government funded sessions a week.
Some 2 year olds are eligible for 15 hours funded sessions.
For us this is 5 sessions a week in school term time, or 4 sessions a week for more of the year.
Some families of over 3s are eligible to apply for 15 more hours.
Walking Under 2s
For under 2s we split our spaces in to "walking" and "not walking yet". This allows us to staff a session with a child who is learning to walk with an additional adult to support them in our outdoor environment.
Over 3s Private Sessions
We offer additional sessions for children who are 3 years old and over.
Not Walking Yet Under 2s
For under 2s we split our spaces in to "walking" and "not walking yet". This allows us to staff a session with a child who is learning to walk with an additional adult to support them in our outdoor environment.
Our "not walking yet" spaces are therefore very limited.
2 Year Old Private Sessions
Children who are 2 years old can book private sessions whether they qualify for funding or not.
Extended Hours
We can offer earlier start from 730am and later collection up to 6pm. Please speak with Hannah about prices and availability. Funded hours cannot be used for these extras.
