Modular nursery price examples
Through our Ranges and Prices page, you can view our latest buildings across education and commercial clients alongside their prices. It’s important to remember that these prices reflect the cost at the time of completion and are not adjusted for inflation. Here are 3 of the modular nurseries our teams have completed, alongside their costs.
Paper Lane Nursery: (£910,000, at time of completion in 2024) – We worked on this 60-place modular nursery for Paper Lane in Somerset. Despite challenging weather, it was completed in just 12 weeks. We designed the nursery to be net zero in operation, achieved through its timber structure, an air-source heat pump, and a rooftop solar PV array. The building was constructed as a Section 106 project as part of a new housing development.
Crazy 4 Kids Nursery: (£614,000, at time of completion in 2021) – We designed and built this modular nursery to accommodate increasing demand at this Northamptonshire school. The building includes two large rooms, a spacious covered outdoor learning area, cedar-clad exteriors, biophilic design elements, and a dedicated staff area.
Early Years Building at Collegiate School: (£725,000, at time of completion in 2018) – A modular nursery created for Collegiate School to house all of their early years education in one space. Our team worked closely with the school to ensure our design met all of their needs, earning 5* feedback from them.
Our upfront design and cost service
We operate with a completely transparent approach to pricing, across modular nurseries and all other buildings. When you come to us with your project, we’ll take the time to understand your needs and develop a bespoke design for you. This free design will be tailored specifically to your space, requirements, and budget, ensuring a perfect fit for your early years setting.
Alongside your design, we’ll provide a clear, fixed cost for the entire project. This price includes planning, manufacture, installation, and finishing, and is a price, not an estimate. With our upfront design and cost model, you can plan with certainty, knowing your new nursery will be a high-quality, sustainable space designed to inspire young learners.
Making adjustments to meet your budget
Modular buildings are manufactured off-site in pieces that will be delivered and connected together as a finished building, an approach that delivers high-quality permanent buildings with reliable cost savings. By avoiding the labour, waste, and disruptions of on-site construction, costs can be sharply reduced compared to a brick-and-mortar solution.
However, every project has unique budget constraints, which is why our designs are never set in stone. We can work closely with clients to refine and adjust their design, ensuring it meets both their needs and budget.
While all our buildings are net-zero in operation designs as standard, certain features – such as solar panels – can be modified or removed to better fit your budget. We can also design buildings to be constructed in usable stages, with the final building completed over several years helping you to budget. Whatever your needs, when you work with our team we’ll be there to ensure that you get the ideal solution.
