15 hours Universal Early Years Education Funding (EYEF)

Early Years Education Funding is a government scheme and available to all children from the start of the term after they turn 3, for 15 hours a week in term time only. This does not need to be applied for by parents, although we will ask you for proof of your child’s date of birth during the registration process and ask you to sign a provider funding agreement.

30 hours Working Entitlements

Working parents of children under 5 may be entitled to a total of 30 hours childcare funding a week. To access this extended funding you will need to apply online. Once this has been approved, you will be issued with a ‘500’ code which you will need to pass on to us to claim the funding, as well as your National Insurance number and DOB. You will also be prompted by HMRC to revalidate your code every term.

Fees

Sessions not covered by childcare funding are charged at £6.00 per hour for 3 & 4 year olds and £6.50 per hour for 2 year olds. In addition, there is a termly charge of £30 for consumables such as wipes, sun cream and other resources.

Sessions can be tailored to your child’s individual requirements. Your child can attend until 11.45am, stay for lunch until 1.45pm or until 2.45pm. We also offer a late pickup of 3.25pm which is charged at £5 per session (this cannot be claimed under childcare funding). We ask that you collect your child promptly at the end of their booked session.

Fees are payable in advance. Invoices are sent out monthly at the beginning of the month and due within 1 week. Unfortunately we are unable to refund fees due to illness or holidays.
