Funded Early Years Education

We offer a variety of funded education options. Please note that we claim funding for 38 weeks of the year and do not offer “stretched” funding.

Day Care All-Year-Round Provision (0 – 3 Years)

In our Baby Room (0–2s) and Toddler Room (2–3s), we provide year-round care only. Sessions are available in 5-hour or 10-hour blocks (8am–1pm, 1pm–6pm, or 8am–6pm).

• Funding: We claim for the hours your child attends during the 38 weeks of term time.
• Costs: Any hours exceeding 30 per week, as well as all childcare during holiday periods, are charged at our full standard rate.
• Snacks/Meals: On funded days, the following daily charges apply:
  • Morning (8am–1pm): £8 (Includes breakfast, snack, and a nutritious lunch)
  • Afternoon (1pm–6pm): £6 (Includes afternoon snack and tea)
  • Full Day (8am–6pm): £12 (Includes all meals and snacks)

Once your child moves into Nursery School, you may choose between term-time only or all-year-round attendance and the delivery differs dues to the sessions differing.

Term-Time and Funded Children Only (Nursery Twos, 2–3 Years)

• Funding: 15 hours per week (either 5 mornings 8:45am–11:45am or 5 afternoons 12:45pm–3:45pm).
• Note: These sessions are fixed and cannot be extended.
• Cost: £3 per week for snacks.

Nursery School Universal 15-Hour Funding (3+ Years)

Available to every child the term after their third birthday.

• Funding:  15 hours per week (either 5 mornings 8:45am–11:45am or 5 afternoons 12:45pm–3:45pm).
• Extras: Wrap-around care may be available upon request.
• Cost: A £3 weekly snack charge applies.

30-Hour Funded Childcare (3+ Years)

For eligible families, 30-hour sessions differ from Day Care hours:

• Delivery: 8:45am–2:45pm (morning-based) or 9:45am–3:45pm (afternoon-based).
• Meals: A charge of £4 per day applies for a hot lunch.
• Add-ons: Breakfast Club (8am – 8.45am,) and Afterschool Club (3.45pm – 6pm) are available for an additional fee. You may also request a School Day (8:45am–3:45pm) for an extra charge, as this exceeds the 30-hour limit.

Options for meal charges can be discussed with management

We also offer childcare to non-funded families of children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old.
