Funding and Fees
The Costs!
Attendance & Fees
To provide your child with continuity of care, we ask that children attend at least two days per week. This helps us ensure consistency and routine for your little one.
Payment of fees is due on the 1st of each month and should be paid in advance. Fees are calculated on an annualised basis for 51 weeks, which means they remain the same even during bank holidays, sick days, and the Christmas and New Year breaks.
Funding We offer Universal Funding for all 2, 3, and 4-year-olds, which allows them to access 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare the term after their birthday. This can be taken as 15 hours a week over 38 weeks (term time only).
30-Hour Extended Funding: In September 2018, the government introduced extended funding for eligible working parents of 3 and 4-year-olds. To see if you qualify, please register online at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk, and if eligible, you will be issued a ‘code’. Once you have this code, please provide it to the Nursery Manager. Your code will need to be updated every three months.
Free Early Education for Two-Year-Olds (FEET): For eligible two-year-olds, we also offer Free Early Education. Please contact us for more details and terms and conditions.
Additional Charges
For children claiming 2, 3, or 4-year-old funding, we will invoice for any additional hours attended and meals.
• Lunch charges: £10.00 for a full-day funded session and £5 for a half-day session. These charges are currently being reviewed.
