Funded Childcare and Additional Voluntary Charges

There is no deposit or admin fee for children who attend for funded only sessions and are not purchasing any additional services.

It is important to know that the government funding is not intended to cover the full cost of childcare. It does not include extras such as food and activities we provide above and beyond the delivery of the EYFS such as early talk and speech and language sessions which are tailored to your child’s individual stage of development, home learning packs, a lending library, regular stay and play activity sessions, graduation and nativity performances as well as our settling in and taster sessions. We also provide an App to which you have full access to which keeps you fully updated instantly. If you wish to opt out of these please speak to the nursery management team.

We receive funding from the local authority for 38 weeks of the year only.

Our funded session options are available in the following ways:
