Fees and funding

All children are eligible for 15 hours free childcare from the full term after they turn 3. This is applied for by the preschool on your behalf. We also offer ‘Working families’ funding which gives 15 hours extra per week for 2, 3 and 4- year- olds (30 hours per week in total). For any unfunded sessions, our current fees are £24 per session. We invoice each month and require payment within the first 2 of that month. Payment can be made by cash, cheque or our preferred method of internet banking – we can also accept payment from tax-free childcare accounts.

Other funding information can be found on the government’s Childcare Choices website – this includes details and links to apply for the extended entitlement for working families, help with costs if you are on Universal Credit and tax-free childcare. If you are looking at applying for 2-year-old funding the government has issued a FAQ sheet which has answers to a lot of your questions and also links to apply. The main details of the funding available (and if relevant, from when) are shown below:
