Fees

Octagon Nursery is open for 40 weeks each year, with government-funded free nursery places available for 38 of those weeks. This means there are 2 weeks during the year when the government funding doesn't cover attendance. 

Depending on your preference, your child can attend for just the 38 funded weeks or if you'd like your child to attend for the full 40 weeks, you will be required to pay for the additional 2 weeks. 

Whichever option you choose, your child will still have a secure spot with us.

Octagon also provides a holiday club, with our sister which operates during the Easter, Summer and Christmas Holiday, providing you with year round child care. 

Government Funding:

If your child is entitled to 15 or 30 hours of government funding, there will be no charge for those hours. However, there is a small weekly fee for snacks and sundries (this covers items such as physical portfolios and trips) which is detailed below.
