The Government provides 15 or 30 hours of free childcare (depending of circumstances) per child for 38 weeks a year from the term after they turn 3 years old. We will deduct the amount provided to us by the local authority from the full fee if parents need childcare over their funded hours. 

​

All children we accommodate can receive funding (15 or 30 hours) depending on eligibility.

​

Parents who are eligible can apply for the 30 hours funding for 3-5 year olds for 38 weeks from the government. 

Parents who are eligible can apply for funding for 30 hours free childcare for two year olds for 38 weeks.

Parents who are eligible can apply for funding for 30 hours free childcare for children 9months to two years for 38 weeks

It is parental responsibility to apply for this the term before the child is eligible. We cannot apply on your behalf.

 

We will ask parents to sign a binding agreement for childcare for either 38 weeks or 49 weeks, only changeable with a term's notice. The nursery will be closed one day each term for teacher training, two days for October half term, one week at Christmas, two days for February half term, one week at Easter, two days for the May half term and one week in summer. 

On enrolment, you will be given a payment plan for the year.

An initial deposit of 4 weeks fees is payable on enrolment and this will cover the last weeks of your child’s attendance.

The nursery term consists of 49 Weeks. Any absence due to illness or extra holidays during term time still requires parents to pay for the child’s absence. Concerning available timing of attendance, we aim to be as flexible as possible according to parental needs however, this is in discussion with the manager upon enrolment depending on numbers of children attending in relation to staff ratios.

 

We will charge £3.50 per child per lunch taken at the nursery. Parents are requested to provide a piece of fruit each day for their child's morning snack. Parents provide their child 's nappies, wet wipes, as well as all items needed for their child (sunscreen, nappy rash cream...)

Each extra hour will be charged at £9 for over 2 year-olds and £12 for under twos
