We offer flexibility with funding giving parents the option of spreading your hours out across the week as you wish, within our sessional hours, which can be term time only or spread across the full year.
We do not have any hidden charges for funded hours however government funding is not intended to cover the cost of providing nutritional meals therefore we do charge £3.50* per meal (snacks are free of charge).
We do not have any hidden charges and do not charge for additional educational activities such as "The Reading fairy" classes which our preschool children take part in each week or any trips the children may go on as we feel this is an important part of every childs education and id a vital part of our curriculmn on offer to every child.
Other funding types may also be available to your child such as 15hours funding for 2 year olds of families recieving additional support and also universal funding 15 hours for all 3&4 year olds.
All government funding is only for 38 weeks of the year.
We also accept payment through tax free childcare.
*we keep our meals charge as low as possible for our families whilst being sustainable for us but we would not want our meals charge to be a barrier to any child accessing early education so please discuss this with us if you feel this could be barrier to you.
