Funding and fees
Funding
We welcome children who are eligible for government funding including Working Parent Entitlement and FEET funding (Free Early Education for Two year olds). For more information, please click here to see our Fees & Funding Policy.
From the term after their 3rd birthday, all children are entitled to Universal Entitlement funding of up to 15 hours funded early education per week, this funding can be split between settings.
Further information about government funding early education can be found at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk.
We charge a sustainability charge for children who claim Working Parent Entitlement and/or Universal Funding through the setting. This is based on the number of funded hours being claimed per week. The sustainability charge helps to cover the cost of providing snacks, wipes and enhanced resources for the children.
Children can only claim funding at the setting if they attend for a minimum of 4 sessions per week.
Fees
We charge fees for all children who are not eligible for government funding or are attending for more hours than we can claim funding for.
Fees are invoiced before the start of each term. We are more than happy to accept childcare vouchers, including HMRC's Tax Free Childcare and will support requests for additional documentation that enables parents to claim Universal Credit for childcare. Please contact us for information about our current rates.
