Nurseries in Yateley

Yes. Eligible working parents in Yateley can receive up to 1,140 funded hours per funding year from the term after their child turns 9 months until they start school. In Hampshire, this can be taken as 30 hours a week for 38 weeks, or stretched across more weeks; Hampshire gives an example of just over 22 hours a week across 51 weeks.

Yes. Hampshire's Early Learning for 2-Year-Olds scheme provides eligible children with up to 570 funded hours. This is separate from the working-family entitlement and is intended for children who meet the additional-support eligibility rules.

Yes. Hampshire allows families to use more than one approved early-years setting for funded hours. The total funding claimed across the settings must remain within the child's entitlement, so parents can combine provision where the chosen nurseries or childminders support the arrangement.

For 2026–27, Hampshire increased its SEN Inclusion Fund rate to £6.72 per eligible hour. The county also increased the Early Years Pupil Premium to £1.15 per eligible hour and the Disability Access Fund to £975 per eligible child per year. These are payments supporting eligible children in early-years settings, not nursery fees paid to parents.

A Yateley early-years setting can receive the £975 annual Disability Access Fund payment where a child receives Disability Living Allowance and is also using funded early-years education. If the child attends more than one setting, the parent nominates which setting receives the payment.

Hampshire funds Early Years Specialist Hub Provision for children under 5 with significant and complex SEND. Eligibility can include substantial developmental delay, significant social-communication needs, medical conditions, sensory impairment or learning disabilities. Placements are considered through Hampshire's Pre-School Advisory Group, rather than being allocated directly by an individual nursery.

Hampshire's Services for Young Children Inclusion Team supports preschool children where there are concerns about development or additional needs. Its early-years support includes Portage, transition support, specialist hubs and neurodiversity and wellbeing provision. Parents can also raise developmental concerns directly with their child's nursery or preschool.

Yes. Hampshire County Council's Yateley Library currently runs Rhymetime every Friday from 10:15am to 10:45am and Storytime every Tuesday from 10:30am to 11am for young children and their parents or carers. These are council-backed local activities rather than private childcare services.

GU46 is the main postcode district for Yateley. The official Yateley Town Council offices on Reading Road, for example, are at GU46 7RP. When comparing local childcare, ToddleKids parents should also consider nearby Frogmore and Darby Green because both form part of the wider Yateley town council area.

Yes. Hart District Council currently divides Yateley into Yateley East and Yateley West wards. As of December 2025, the council recorded electorates of 6,651 in Yateley East and 6,681 in Yateley West, so comparing nurseries across both sides of Yateley can provide a broader local choice.
