Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Kingston upon Thames
Can working parents get 30 funded hours in Kingston upon Thames?

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.
Are there enough nursery places in Kingston upon Thames?
Kingston's 2025 Childcare Sufficiency Assessment found that there was enough childcare across the borough to meet the needs of most families.
The borough had more than 200 registered early years providers.
This does not guarantee a place at a specific Kingston nursery. Ask for the next available start date for your child's age and the exact weekdays you need.
Can Kingston nurseries spread funded hours across the year?
Yes, if the nursery offers stretched funding.
Instead of using 30 hours for 38 weeks, your annual entitlement can be divided across more weeks with fewer funded hours each week.
Ask for the exact number of funded hours each week and your remaining monthly payment.
Can a Kingston nursery make me pay for meals to use funded hours?
No. Funded childcare cannot depend on you paying compulsory extra charges.
Nurseries can charge for extras such as meals, nappies, activities and additional childcare hours, but they should offer an alternative if you do not want to pay for an optional extra.
Ask for an itemised fee breakdown before accepting a place.
Can my child get SEND support without an EHCP in Kingston?
Yes.
Kingston's Early Years SEN Inclusion Fund can support eligible children accessing funded early education who have emerging SEND and do not yet have an Education, Health and Care Plan.
Speak to the nursery SENCO before your child starts so the setting can assess whether additional support or funding is needed.
Where can Kingston parents get local support for children under 5?
Kingston Town Children's Centre is on Villiers Road, Kingston, KT1 3AR.
It supports expectant parents and families with children under 5 through early years activities, family support and health related sessions.
There is no parking at the centre, so check your journey before attending.
What should I confirm before accepting a Kingston nursery place?
Confirm these 5 points:
Start date: When can my child actually start?
Days: Are my exact weekdays available?
Funding: How will my funded hours be used?
Cost: What will I pay after funding and extras?
SEND: Does support need to be arranged before the start date?
