We offer 30 hours funded childcare for 3 and 4 year olds and 15 hours
funded hours for eligible two years olds. If you are using funded hours only there is a consumable fee to pay of £18 for full day or £9 for a half day.
Consumable Information
From April 2025 government guidance requires nurseries offering funded places to clearly break down any charges for consumables and additional charges. The below explains what is included in your government funding, what we offer beyond that and why we make a consumable charge. Under the new legislation we provide transparency to parents and an option to opt out of consumable charges, if the parents only wants to access the funded hours with no extras. Please speak to our manager about alternative options if you are unwilling to pay for some or all of the consumables.
As the government funding is there to cover the basic provision of the EYFS, there are certain things that are excluded from the funding and included in your consumable fee.
These are:
Meals, dessert and snacks.
Nappies, wipes and sun cream.
Extra activities including Gardening, Baby Ballet, Rhythm and Rhyme, Yoga and Footy Tots.
Additional high quality resources e.g. sensory equipment, baking supplies, online communication platform.
To go beyond the basics and provide the quality of care and learning we are proud to deliver, we offer an enhanced provision, which costs more to deliver than government funding provides. Charging a daily consumables fee allows us to maintain the exceptional care and learning experiences we are known for.
Our parents rave about Cheadle Preschool and Day Nursery
"Fantastic nursery. The best out of 6 nurseries close to South Manchester that I visited in search of a suitable nursery for my 2 little ones. Very personable, literally 'a home away from home'. The staff is amazing, very kind and caring. Management is very flexible and approachable. Very structured activities including baby football and baby ballet, as well as reading, arts and crafts, never a dull moment in their busy day. I feel so lucky to have stumbled on this little gem."

"Our little boy has settled in so well here since starting in January, and we can't thank the staff and management for their care and support. We have another sibling starting shortly too and feel so confident in their development at Cheadle Preschool."
