Nursery Fees & Funding Options
We pride ourselves on putting children before profits, with thousands of pounds being invested into the children's education and play areas, with learning resources second-to-none. Our fees take into account everything we do to go above and beyond normal childcare, while maintaining fair pricing for the families that rely on us. We do not charge for Bank Holidays.
Registration Fee
When you join the Blossoms Childcare family, we have a Registration Fee of £100 which is non-refundable. This fee reserves your child's space at our nursery and contributes to the administration and welcome sessions.
Depending on when you need to start, we try to provide 4 welcome sessions - 2 one hour welcome sessions and 2 two hour welcome sessions - to help your child become familiar with our environment. We also use this time to evaluate who would be the best match for their Key Person.
If you are starting immediately, we will issue your child with Blossoms uniform - a black, branded polo shirt for each day of the week they will be attending, plus a black, branded fleece. However, if you aren't starting with us immediately, the uniform will be issued when you start, just in-case your child has outgrown it before they join us. This uniform will be replaced as-and-when they outgrow it, and you can purchase additional uniform if you would like to.
Our Registration Fee is £100, and is non-refundable, even if you don't take your place.
All-inclusive Sessions Explained
Our nursery fees reflect the exceptional childcare we offer in West Raynham, Norfolk — putting children before profits with an all-inclusive approach. Any nappies, breakfasts, healthy snacks, and home-cooked meals are included within our fees.
We provide healthy, balanced, home-cooked meals every day along with nutritious breakfasts, and healthy morning and afternoon snacks - we promote healthy eating and ensure that each child is receiving a nutritionally balanced diet.
It is our policy that we do not allow packed-lunches. These can be disruptive, unhealthy, and contain allergens that could harm other children.
Parents have busy lives, so we also include a nice warm cup of tea, coffee or hot-chocolate for you when you drop off your child with us. We do our best to take care of you as well as your little ones.
Session Prices & Times
When we started Blossoms, we wanted to provide childcare that puts children first while creating sessions that enabled parents and carers to get on with their lives. Whether you're looking for daycare in Fakenham, part-time preschool hours, or funded childcare from 9 months to 4 years, we have an option for you.
So, whether your child is of Baby Room age (0-2), or Toddler to Preschool age (2-4) we offer daily sessions of childcare that are flexible and available when you really need it, opening from 7am until 7pm all 7 days of the week, with a loving team and resources second-to-none. We ask that you give us a month's notice of any changes. (As with all spaces, these are subject to availability.)

Government Funding Eligibility Guide
Government Funding Eligibility Guide
All 3 and 4 year old children (and some 2 year olds) are eligible for some Government Funded Childcare, while children of working parents may be eligible for a larger allowance, and from 9 months old until they go to school.
We've put this guide together to help you understand how Government Funding entitlement works across all ages for all types of childcare funding. Click to expand each section to read beyond the bullet points.
3 & 4 Year Old, 15/11 hours, Universal Funding (All Parents)
Regardless of work or benefits. Up to 570 hours per year.
Maximum 15 hours per week, if term-time only.
Maximum 11 hours per week, stretched all year round.
This funding starts from the term after your child turns 3 years.
Terms start in January, April and September.
Universal Funding Details:
All children ages 3 and 4 can have this, starting from the term after your child turns 3. Terms start in January, April and September.

Tax-Free Childcare Payments
Save Money!
Government Top-Up Scheme
We encourage you to save some money and benefit from using the Government's Tax-Free Childcare Payments scheme. For every £8 parents or carers pay through the scheme, the Government adds £2 to help cover the cost of childcare, up to £2,000 per child, per year!
If you are working, earning at least the equivalent of 16 hours at the minimum wage per week (earning at least £2,196.48 over a 3 month period), you could be eligible. If you have a partner, they'll need to earn at least this much too. You can claim this on-top of your 30 hours Government Funding allowance if you're eligible for both, however you cannot get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as claiming Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Universal Credit or Childcare Vouchers - you have to decide which one benefits you the most.
You would receive an invoice from us each month as normal, but then you would pay the money into your Government childcare account, which the government then tops-up before paying us.

The Childcare Voucher Scheme
When Tax-Free Childcare was launched, they stopped people joining these schemes, but for anyone already registered with a Childcare Voucher Scheme through their employer, you can continue to use it.
This is a salary-sacrifice scheme, where up-to £243/month can be taken from your pre-tax pay, and used to buy Childcare Vouchers before your earnings are taxed.
If you don't already have this, you can no longer sign-up.
