Helpful answers

Nursery questions in Kingswood

Which Kingswood nurseries take babies, and which follow term dates?

Date Palm Nursery takes children from 2 or 3 rather than babies. The others we list take babies and open all year, such as Hillside Day Nursery.

Are there forest school or outdoor nurseries in Kingswood?

Yes. Hillside Day Nursery and Rozey Days Montessori Kingswood offer forest school or an outdoor-led approach.

What does council data show about childcare places in Kingswood?

South Gloucestershire's 2024 childcare sufficiency survey recorded 48 places for children under 2, 84 for 2-year-olds and 128 for 3 and 4-year-olds in the Kingswood ward. These figures measure local supply at the time of the survey rather than current vacancies, so individual nursery availability still needs to be checked.

Is extra funding available for a disabled child attending nursery in Kingswood?

Yes. Early years settings supporting an eligible child receiving Disability Living Allowance can receive the Disability Access Fund. For 2026/27 the South Gloucestershire DAF rate is £975 per eligible child.

Which postcode should I use when searching for nurseries in Kingswood?

Kingswood is primarily within the BS15 postcode area. South Gloucestershire Council records Kingswood facilities and services across BS15, including the Civic Centre on High Street at BS15 9TR. Using your full postcode on ToddleKids gives a more precise nursery search.

Can Kingswood nurseries charge extra during funded hours?

The funded childcare entitlement must be provided free at the point of delivery. Nurseries can charge separately for optional extras such as meals, consumables and additional activities, but these charges cannot be a condition of accessing a funded place.

What SEND support is available at nurseries in Kingswood?

South Gloucestershire provides Early Years Inclusion Support Funding for settings supporting children with SEND without requiring an EHCP first. Early Intervention Officers and Portage Home Visitors also work with early years services to support access to childcare and early identification of additional needs.
