Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Horsham
Which postcodes cover nurseries in Horsham?
Horsham itself uses both RH12 and RH13. RH12 also reaches places such as Broadbridge Heath, Warnham and Faygate, while RH13 extends into surrounding settlements including Southwater and Slinfold, so a postcode alone does not necessarily mean a nursery is within Horsham town.
Are Roffey and Holbrook part of the Horsham nursery search area?
Yes. Roffey and Holbrook form part of the wider urban Horsham area, although much of northern Horsham sits within North Horsham Parish rather than the central town parish. ToddleKids can therefore keep these nearby Horsham neighbourhoods connected while preserving their more precise location information.
Can a Horsham nursery charge me a registration fee for a funded-only place?
Not for access to the funded hours alone. West Sussex states that providers must not make registration or administration fees, upfront payments or non-refundable deposits a condition of taking an Early Years Funded Entitlement place. Charges can apply when parents buy additional hours or services outside the funded entitlement.
Do I have to pay for meals or nappies during funded nursery hours?
Optional extras can be offered, but they cannot be compulsory in order to access funded childcare. This includes food, nappies and other consumables, trips or additional activities. West Sussex also requires larger EYFE settings to publish their chargeable extras so parents can see what sits outside the funded place.
How many funded hours can working parents get in Horsham?
Eligible working families can access up to 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child turns 9 months old. After age 3, the 30 hours are made up of the universal 15-hour entitlement plus an additional 15 hours for eligible working families.
What if my child needs to start a funded place after the term has already begun?
A late start can still be possible. West Sussex allows providers to request funding after the normal headcount in several circumstances, including some Working Families places, eligible 2-year-olds and exceptional situations such as a family moving into West Sussex or a child starting with professional support for an additional need.
Is there specific early-years SEND support for Horsham settings?
Yes. Horsham falls within the north West Sussex early-years SEND support area, alongside Crawley and Mid Sussex. Eligible settings can apply for Inclusion Funding where a child needs support beyond ordinarily available inclusive practice, and some children may also qualify for Disability Access Fund support.
Why might two Horsham nurseries show very different Ofsted results?
Older inspection records may show a single overall judgement such as Good or Outstanding. Inspections under Ofsted's framework introduced in November 2025 instead use grades across separate evaluation areas, so newer nursery reports can look quite different even when comparing settings in the same town.
