Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Cheshunt
Which postcodes cover Cheshunt?
EN7 and EN8 are the main postcode districts for Cheshunt. EN7 covers much of the western side of town, while EN8 includes central and eastern Cheshunt around Old Pond and the station area.
Is Goffs Oak part of Cheshunt?
Goffs Oak is a separate village west of Cheshunt, although Cheshunt appears in some nearby postal addresses. Broxbourne Council treats Goffs Oak separately from Cheshunt in its local planning policies.
Are school nursery hours the same as day nurseries?
Not usually. School nursery provision follows its own session timetable and generally operates during school terms, while day nurseries are designed around longer childcare days and often operate for more weeks of the year.
What do nursery fees include?
Providers set their own charges. Hertfordshire requires them to explain the cost of meals, snacks, trips, nappies, sun cream and additional childcare hours upfront, so these should be included when comparing the real cost of childcare.
Can funded hours be stretched across the year?
Yes, where the provider offers a stretched arrangement. Instead of taking the full entitlement over 38 weeks, families can use fewer funded hours each week across more weeks of the year. Eligible working families receive up to 30 funded hours from 9 months old until school age, while all 3 and 4 year olds receive 15 funded hours.
Can my 2 year old get funded childcare?
Some 2 year olds qualify for funded childcare through additional-support criteria, including specified income-related benefits and certain circumstances relating to the child. Working families who meet the eligibility rules can access the separate working-parent entitlement.
Is Cheshunt practical for London commuters?
Cheshunt has direct rail services to London Liverpool Street, with up to five trains an hour on weekdays. Parents commuting by train should compare nursery opening and collection times with their regular journey, particularly when choosing childcare around central Cheshunt or the station side of EN8.
Does nursery guarantee a Reception place?
No. Attending a school nursery does not guarantee a Reception place at the same school. Hertfordshire requires a separate Reception application, and children attending the nursery can still miss out when Reception is oversubscribed.
What SEND support is available?
Cheshunt is within Hertfordshire’s Hoddesdon, Broxbourne and Cheshunt SEND locality. The county’s Early Years SEND team supports children aged 0 to 5 and works with early years settings and families; a medical diagnosis or EHCP is not required before referral.
