Nursery questions in Purley
How much do nurseries in Purley cost?
Croydon's 2026 childcare assessment gives these average hourly nursery rates for South Croydon, which includes the Purley area:
0 to 2 year olds: £9.00 an hour
2 to 3 year olds: £8.54 an hour
3 to 4 year olds: £8.85 an hour
Meals, nappies, wipes and other extras are not included in these averages.
Are nursery places available in Purley?
Croydon does not publish complete live vacancy figures because not every provider reports vacancies.
However, council funding created 15 additional early years places in Purley and Woodcote in autumn 2024, including 9 places for under 2s and 6 for older children.
Ask each nursery for availability for your child's exact age, weekdays and required start date.
Can working parents get 30 funded hours in Purley?
Yes. Eligible working parents can receive 30 funded hours a week for children aged 9 months to 4 years.
The entitlement covers 38 weeks a year, or up to 1,140 hours annually. Some nurseries spread the hours across more weeks.
When should I apply for 30 funded hours in Purley?
Apply by:
31 December for a January start
31 March for an April start
31 August for a September start
You can apply once your child is 23 weeks old and must reconfirm your eligibility every 3 months.
Why can I still be charged when using funded childcare?
Funded hours cover childcare. A nursery can charge separately for meals, nappies, additional hours and optional activities.
You must still be allowed to access funded childcare if you choose not to pay for optional extras. The provider should offer an alternative arrangement.
What SEND support is available for nursery children in Purley?
Croydon provides early years SEND support through nurseries, its Early Years SEND Team and the Croydon Local Offer.
If you are concerned about your child's development, speak to the nursery SENCO first. More complex needs can be considered for an Education, Health and Care Plan assessment.
Is there a children's centre near Purley?
Yes. Purley Oaks Children's Centre is at Purley Oaks Primary School, Bynes Road, South Croydon, CR2 0PR.
It forms part of Croydon's Family Hub and Children's Centre network and provides support for families with children.
What should I confirm before accepting a Purley nursery place?
Confirm the exact start date, weekdays available, funded session times, monthly cost after funding and any SEND support required.
Do not rely on a general statement that places are available. Availability can differ by age group and weekday.
