How we work this out
- Medians use each nursery's lowest published full-day price for that age, from nursery websites and listings, as last checked on 13 November 2026. A median needs at least 3 nurseries.
- Published fees are often the headline rate: some nurseries charge more for shorter weeks, add meals, or price by session. Always check the nursery's own price list.
