Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Orpington
Is there a shortage of nursery places in Orpington?
Yes. Bromley Council's latest published ward data recorded 132 registered childcare places for 700 children aged 0 to 4 in Orpington ward.
The council classified Orpington as having a shortage of childcare places and a priority area for additional provision.
These are planning figures rather than live vacancies, so ask nurseries for availability for your child's exact age and required days.
Can working parents get 30 funded hours in Orpington?
Yes. Eligible working families can receive up to 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child turns 9 months until school age.
Bromley provides up to 1,140 funded hours a year.
Providers can offer the hours over 38 to 52 weeks, so ask whether the nursery offers term time or stretched funding.
Can I split funded childcare between 2 Orpington providers?
Yes. Bromley allows funded childcare to be split between providers.
You can use a maximum of 2 providers in one day.
This can help if one nursery cannot provide all the days or hours you need.
Can an Orpington nursery charge a deposit for a funded place?
Not if you are only using funded entitlement hours with no additional paid childcare.
Bromley states that providers can charge a deposit to secure a place, but not where a parent is taking only the funded hours.
If you are booking additional paid hours, ask for the deposit terms before accepting the place.
What SEND support is available in Orpington nurseries?
Bromley's Special Educational Needs Inclusion Fund supports eligible children with emerging or lower level SEND who attend a Bromley early years setting and receive funded early education.
Funding can contribute towards:
Additional staff support
Specialist resources
Training linked to the child's needs
The nursery applies for the funding.
Where can Orpington families get local early years support?
Cotmandene Children and Family Centre is at 103 to 107 Cotmandene Crescent, St Paul's Cray, Orpington, BR5 2RB.
It is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm and provides services for families with children under 5, including developmental support and family activities.
What should I confirm before accepting an Orpington nursery place?
Confirm the exact start date, required weekdays, funded session pattern, monthly cost and SEND support before paying anything.
This is particularly important in Orpington because Bromley Council's latest ward assessment identifies a shortage of childcare places.
