Costs

You are welcome to use the 15 hours or 30 hour 2, 3 or 4 year old funding to pay for any of our sessions (subject to availability) up to your maximum funding entitlement. 

 

You could choose 3 x funded 10 hour days, totalling 30 hours per week, or 5 x funded 3 hour days totalling 15 hours per week, or any other pattern of sessions, although some of our sessions fit more neatly into the 15 or 30 hours of funding entitlement.

​

For any hours over your funded entitlement, we charge £10 per hour for a 2-year-old, or £7 per hour for a 3&4-year-old, and must be booked in full sessions. These charges are reviewed and may be increased each April after funding rates are published. 

 

​​You can pay via Child Care Vouchers if your employer has this benefit, or via the Tax Free Childcare scheme.

 

When you accept a place with us, you will be asked to sign a contract and pay a £50 deposit, which will be refunded on receipt of your child's first half-terms fees, or receipt of their funding. 

​

If you are interested in visiting us, please contact Rosie to arrange an appointment.
