Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Hornsey
Is it difficult to find an under 2 nursery place in Hornsey?
Yes. Haringey's latest Childcare Sufficiency Annual Report, published in December 2025, identified Hornsey as an area with a shortage of childcare provision for under 2s.
The council also reported low vacancies for under 2s across most Haringey wards.
If you need care for a baby or 1 year old, ask nurseries for the next available date for your child's age and your exact required days.
Can working parents get 30 funded hours in Hornsey?
Yes. Eligible working parents can receive 30 funded hours a week from 9 months old until school age.
Funding normally covers 38 weeks a year, giving up to 1,140 hours annually.
Apply by:
31 December for a January start
31 March for an April start
31 August for a September start
Eligibility must be reconfirmed every 3 months.
Can Hornsey nurseries stretch the 30 funded hours across the year?
Yes, if the nursery offers stretched funding.
Your 1,140 annual hours can be divided across more than 38 weeks, giving fewer funded hours each week.
Ask the nursery for your actual monthly bill after stretched funding before accepting a place.
Why can I still be charged with funded childcare in Hornsey?
Funded hours cover childcare. Nurseries can charge separately for additional hours and optional extras such as meals, nappies and activities.
These extras cannot be compulsory for accessing a funded place.
Ask for an itemised quote showing:

What SEND funding is available for nursery children in Hornsey?
Haringey provides Early Years Inclusion Funding for children who need additional nursery support because of SEND or medical needs.
The funding is available from 9 months old where the child is receiving an early years entitlement.
If your child attends a nursery outside Haringey, the nursery must request inclusion funding from the borough where that setting is located.
Does my child need an EHCP to get extra nursery support in Hornsey?
Not always.
Haringey's Early Years Inclusion Fund supports children with emerging or additional needs without requiring an Education, Health and Care Plan first.
Speak to the nursery SENCO if your child needs support so the setting can assess whether Early Years Inclusion Funding should be requested.
Is there a council nursery in the Hornsey area?
Yes. Haringey Council lists Stonecroft Day Nursery in N8 as one of its nursery provisions.
It is an inclusive setting in the Hornsey postcode area. Parents should check current age availability directly before relying on a place being available.
What should I confirm before joining a Hornsey nursery waiting list?
Ask for 4 specific details:
Your child's age group: Is there a place for that room?
Required days: Are your exact weekdays available?
Start date: When can the place actually begin?
Waiting list terms: Does joining the list guarantee anything?
This is particularly important for under 2s because Haringey has identified a local shortage in Hornsey.
