Our nurseries are open Monday to Friday for 48 weeks of the year, excluding bank holidays. Most nurseries are open from 8am to 5pm, while some stay open until 5:30pm or 6pm. Check our calendar and your preferred nursery page for more details.

Many families are eligible for 30 hours of free childcare per week. At Ark Start, these funded hours can be used term time only or stretched all year round, without the need to pay for additional sessions. Check your eligibility for government funding or speak to our nursery team to understand your entitlements.

As a non-profit, we keep our fees as low as possible to help more families access high-quality childcare. Check fees on your chosen nursery page.

In order to register your child, please submit an enquiry form for your chosen location on our website. We’ll then invite you to come and visit the nursery.
