The Consumables Taboo: What Nurseries Don’t Say (But We Will)

Let’s rip the plaster off — we’re going to talk about consumables, the awkward add-on that no one seems to explain properly. At Wonderbloom, we’re not into fine print or hidden extras. So here’s everything you need to know about how we handle it — clearly, fairly, and without any guilt-tripping.


💷 Our All-Inclusive Option: £10 Per Funded Day

If your child attends using funded hours, you can choose to opt into our £10 per day consumables package.


Here’s exactly what that includes:

  • 🍽️ 3 full meals (breakfast, lunch, and tea)

  • 🍌 2 healthy snacks

  • 🍼 Milk (including alternatives)

  • 👶 Nappies, wipes, nappy cream, nappy sacks

  • 🌞 Suncream

  • 🎉 Internal celebration events (festivals, birthdays, etc.)

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family events and community days

It’s a flat £10 per 10-hour funded day — simple, predictable, and all-in.


✅ 100% Optional. No Strings.

Prefer to bring your own meals, nappies, wipes, snacks, suncream and everything else?

You are more than welcome to opt out and supply your own items. We will never impose extra charges to make up for it. Free childcare really does mean free with us.


🤝 Let’s Be Totally Honest…

We charge exactly what it costs us.We're not marking it up. We're not making a profit.We’re simply offering a convenient, all-in-one option for busy families who don’t want to worry about daily packing, forgotten items, or extra admin.

Take it or leave it — it truly makes no difference to us. You won’t be treated differently either way.


🧼 Why We’re Talking About It

Because families deserve:

  • Clear, upfront information

  • The ability to choose what works best for them

  • Nurseries that don’t talk about “free hours” and then sneak on extras later

We don’t hide things in fine print. We don’t twist funding into a sales funnel. And we certainly don’t use consumables as a way to top up our income. That’s just not the Wonderbloom way.


👋 Got Questions? We’ll Always Answer Them

Come and see how we work, ask what’s included, and decide what feels right for your family. You’ll never be judged, pushed, or made to feel like you are killing our business if you opt out. It's parental choice and that's what we give you!
