Places, Fees & Funding

Fees & Funding

From the 1st of September 2025 Camden Community Nurseries has changed the Concession Fee from 25k and under gross annual income to 50k and under gross annual income.

We are also pleased to announce that Camden Community Nurseries will be offering the new 30 hour Working Parent Offer funding for eligible 9month olds – 4 year olds from the 1st September 2025!

The primary aim of CCN is to support, retain and recruit strong nursery teams, trained to a high level, which will support your children throughout their crucial early years and to continue to provide safe and fun learning environments. In addition, we are a charitable organisation which seeks to provide affordable quality childcare options for families from the widest cross section of the community.

The Board compares the cost of childcare and salaries for similar voluntary organisations in the area and are confident that CCN rates are competitive with other nurseries.

Please contact any Camden Community Nursery for a copy of our fee sheet.

Parents are able to benefit from the 15 and 30 hours government funding.
