Common questions
How much does after-school club cost in the UK?
Across 10 real UK prices, the median is £15, ranging from £8 to £72. These are published prices and bills people actually paid, not estimates.
Why do after-school club prices vary so much?
Nursery fees vary with the area, the hours, the child's age, and the setting. London costs far more than most of the country, and the funded hours only cover part of a full-time place.
How can I pay less for after-school club?
Compare a few settings, claim every funded hour and tax-free childcare you are entitled to, and ask whether meals and nappies are included or charged on top.
