Fees and funding
All fees are payable in advance. We are able to accept payments in full or part via all recognised work childcare voucher schemes. These Childcare Vouchers are non-taxable and exempt from National Insurance Contributions (N.I.C.) for employees. Childcare Vouchers have become the recognised payment method for Childcare. All working parents, with children aged under 15, or 16 if disabled, are eligible. Childcare Vouchers benefit both basic and higher rate tax payers. Please speak to the Manager, Gemma, for any further information.
A deposit of £175 is required when a place is reserved. This is refundable when your child leaves provided two months written advanced notice of termination is given and paid for.

The government offers up to 30 hour’s of funded childcare for eligible children from 9 months. We offer both the 15-hour and 30-hour funded entitlements on a stretched basis over 51 weeks, allowing families access to funded hours spread equally throughout the year.
Our funded entitlement hours run from 8.00-6.00pm.
A half day is either 8am-1.00pm or 1pm-6.00pm.
As the funding covers the care and education only of the child, additional charges are payable. Any additional hours over and above funded hours are chargeable at our normal rate. A daily optional charge for funded only hours is payable for
– Early drop off and breakfast £5.20
– Nutritious home cooked lunch and snacks £6.50
– Afternoon tea and snacks £4.30
A further 10% will be discounted off all full-time non-funded hours.
The Local Authority will issue an eligibility code to parents. This eligibility code and original copies of documentation must be seen by the setting. The setting will acquire consent from or on behalf of the parent to be able to receive confirmation and future notifications for the LA of the validity of the parent’s 30 hours’ eligibility code.
It is the LA’s responsibility to notify the setting where a parent has fallen out of eligibility and inform them of the grace period end date. The child’s place will be terminated at the end of the grace period unless the parent pays, in full, all fees due.
Tax-Free Childcare is available for working families with children up to 12 years old (17 for children with disabilities). Parents can open a Tax-Free Childcare account where, for every £8 you deposit, the government adds £2. You can save up to £500 every three months per child, or £1,000 if the child has a disability.
Tax-Free Childcare can be used alongside 15- or 30-hour funding but cannot be combined with Universal Credit or Tax Credits.
All eligible working parents of children aged 9 months up to 3-years-old can now access 15 hours per week for 38 weeks of the year which is 570 hours per year.The application process involves obtaining a childcare code from the government’s Childcare Service, which is then provided to us.
