Prices & Funding
Fees
The fees for all our sessions (including lunch club) for children not covered by funding are £4.25 per hour. If eligible for funding, you may use this to cover any sessions (including lunch club).
If your child attends another setting, you can split your funding between providers and, if attending more sessions than you have funding for, we can claim for some of the sessions and invoice you for others.
In general, we ask for fees to be paid either in one go or in two installments, however we are happy to discuss individual payment plans e.g. monthly payments or payments timed to suit personal circumstances. Invoices will be provided within 10 days of your child commencing with us. We also accept payment by childcare vouchers.
Snack Money
We request a voluntary contribution of 25 pence per session to help cover the cost of snacks. We endeavor to provide children with a range of healthy snacks. Examples of snacks include fruit, yogurt and toast.
Your child will receive milk free of charge under the government's Nursery Milk Scheme. We also offer fresh drinking water at all times.
