We offer government-funded childcare hours for eligible children from the term after they turn nine months old. We currently offer the hours on a stretched basis only, spreading the funded entitlement across the year rather than term time only.
If eligible you will receive 570 or 1140 annual Stretched funding hours:
• 51 weeks with 22 or 11 hrs
• 1 week with 18 or 9 hrs.
Please note for Eligibility:
• For children 9 months to 3 years, funding is only available for eligible children so you will either receive 22 hrs or no funding.
• Children aged 3 years and over will continue to receive universal and extended funding so you will receive 22 or 11 hrs of stretched funding.
Snacks and Consumables
The fees cover a comprehensive range of services, including breakfast, healthy morning and afternoon snacks, a hot lunch, and afternoon tea. Additionally, they encompass extra-curricular activities such as baking and yoga, along with craft supplies, cleaning supplies, sun cream, and organized trips.
As Government funding does not cover the cost of these meals and consumables. Therefore, we apply a charge for 3-year-olds attending 3 or 4 days a week. Note: this charge does not currently apply to 3-year-olds attending full-time 5 days a week or to any other age group as the company will absorb the cost.
Closure days
Our nursery is open year-round to support working families, except during Christmas week and on bank holidays. Fees are calculated annually and payable in monthly installments, with allowances for planned closures included in the calculation. Fees are reviewed each year and remain payable during your child’s absence, including holidays, sickness or other unforeseen circumstances.
