Funding and Fees

Funding

We accept all government funding, which includes:

​

9-month-old funding

This entitles children of eligible families to 15 hours of funded early years education per week from the term after the child turns 9-months-old. Children who are eligible for this funding can join our setting from their 2nd birthday. 

 

2-year-old funding

This entitles children of eligible families to 15 hours of funded early years education per week from the term after the child’s 2nd birthday.

 

Universal 3- and 4-year-old funding

This entitles children of all families to 15 hours of funded early years education per week from the term after the child’s 3rd birthday.

 

Extended 3- and 4-year-old funding

This entitles children of eligible families to 30 hours of funded early years education per week from the term after the child’s 3rd birthday.

 

Early Years Pupil Premium

This entitles us to claim additional funding (£388 per year) to provide extra support to children of eligible families.

 

We do not make any additional charges for families wishing to access government funded provision exclusively. We provide a funded snack and ask families to provide a packed lunch, where appropriate.

 

As requested by some of our previous families, we do now have a uniform available for purchase, but this is entirely optional.

Fees

For families that are not eligible for government funding, or who wish to pay for additional hours, our hourly rate is £7.70 from 1 September 2024.
Our hourly rate is subject to review on a termly basis.

​We also accept childcare vouchers. Please ask if you need further information.

If you have any questions about funding or fees, please contact us.
