Nursery fees - what's the average?

[whoisbruno]

My daughter currently goes to a nursery that charges £9.10 per hour. I recently spoke to a friend who was horrified at the price so I just wanted to get some other opinions!
Is this nursery exceptionally pricey?
We are in the south of England.

We pay £70 a day, south east.

SW London - £80 a day (baby room)

Staffordshire £60 per day

About £95 a day here in the south. So only a bit higher than what your sister is paying (if a day is £10 hours). It’s normal in the town the nursery is in.

Oh sorry I don’t know why I read that as your sister! Your daughter!

South west £56 per day 8-6, nappies and wipes not included.

East Mids - £60 a full day.

No nappies & wipes included. I have to provide those.

I could get it cheaper if I had chosen a Sure Start nursery in my area but I preferred the one I chose and thought it was worth the extra.

We pay just under £70 a day..Yorkshire, this includes everything

91 a day in London. Doesn't include nappies etc but does meals. It's more than my mortgage.

£71 per day south cost. It’s increased twice in a year!

Sorry meant south coast

£53 a day 7:30-6 in the South but doesn't include food (only breakfast) or nappies/wipes etc

It was £65 per day for the baby room three years ago, so probably £75 now, in Essex. Nappies and wipes are included now but weren't when we were paying it.

School nurseries for 3+ age group with funding can be much cheaper but also have limited hours and are term-time only, so it really depends what age group you're looking at and how much childcare you need.

£75 a day, Midlands.

Ofsted Outstanding Nursery, includes all meals.

NE, £54 per day, including three meals

London - £65 a day but that is well below the average my friends pay (nearer £80-£90). It's a private nursery, not a chain and they don't provide things like nappies etc and I have to send in a packed lunch (they provide snacks, breakfast and dinner though). I took the price (and the staff are brilliant) over extras!

£80 for ten hour day in baby room, about £75 when older. Lunch included but not milk, nappies or wipes

In Surrey!

This isn't that accurate for childminders in my area price is inflated by around £2 to £3 because of how they calculate their areas

In sw London nursery around £7 to £8 childminder £5 to £6

South East, £75 per day so £7.50 per hour. Nappies, wipes and all meals and snacks included.

£90 per full day. Food & nappies included x

NW £54 3 meals and nappies

South Yorkshire £45 for a full day inclusive of nappies, wipes and formula.
