Family-operated Outstanding Teamwork award Minibus outings and Forest School Refurbished Victorian building Green web hosting ## Pricing & funding Funding accepted Tax-Free Childcare 15 hours — working parents (9 months–2 yrs) 15 hours — eligible 2-year-olds 15 hours — universal (3–4 yrs) 30 hours — working parents (3–4 yrs) Our typical nursery day is from 7.30am – 6.15pm and for families requiring a longer nursery day, we also offer ‘early bird’ sessions from 7am each morning. We accept BACS payments, Voucher schemes (such as Edenred etc) and payments via the government TFC (Tax free childcare) system. Early years funding is for the provision of early years education only and does not cover the cost of essential items such as drinks, meals, hygiene supplies or extracurricular activities and outings. We therefore charge for ‘additional provisions’ which is in place to support with the additional setting costs not included within ‘funded’ hours such as meals, drinks, nappies, creams, hygiene supplies, trips including the running of our PSV licenced minibus and additional staff training to drive this. ### Official Ofsted Report Independent inspection of The Playroom Inspection date Apr 2022 Inspection no. 10138658 Safeguarding arrangements are effective [Download full report (PDF)](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50186437)[View on Ofsted.gov.uk](https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/16/EY266430) Visit or enquire ### Book a show-around Most settings reply within 48 hours.
