Fees at Little Buds

The cost of childcare is frighteninly high. We endeavour at Little Buds to keep our costs as low as possible and among the lowest in Hackney while maintaining the best possible care of your child. We provide a varied and enriching programme of activities and resources for our children at no additional cost. Our fees for full time children and morning children includes the cost of lunch. This helps parents to budget for the cost of childcare, but also ensures that we remain a fully inclusive nursery. No child is excluded from any activity for cost reasons. 

Occasionally we will go on an excursion which might carry a small cost, typically under £5. 

We offer the 15 and 30 hour funded hours for parents who qualify over the 38 weeks of the year. We are have a registered childcare provider account for parents who qualify for a student childcare grant. 

 Our fees are payable monthly in advance.

We usually increase our fees in January, but will sometimes delay part of the increase until April.
