At the heart of the Buckland community
Located next to Green Park Primary School, Kid Ease Buckland is conveniently placed for local families and has strong links with nearby schools.
We’re open 8am–6pm, 51 weeks a year, with school-day or full-day hours available to give families greater flexibility.
Transparent and affordable fees
We offer funded childcare for eligible families from the term after their child turns 9 months, including the Working Parent Entitlement of up to 30 hours per week over 38 weeks of the year. To better suit working families, we typically stretch this funding across 48 weeks, providing around 24 funded hours per week, subject to the annual entitlement.
As a guide, a child using 24 funded hours and attending three full nursery days per week (8am to 6pm), including six additional hours along with nursery meals (including a hot lunch and afternoon tea), would typically pay around £68–£71 per week during funded weeks, depending on age and the booking pattern.
We offer a range of session patterns, including full days, 9am to 3pm school days and morning or afternoon sessions, to suit different childcare needs.
We do not make additional charges for outings, most consumables or the other learning experiences included in our sessions.
