Fees & Funding
Funded Childcare Hours
We offer a range of funded places through the government Early Education Entitlement for children aged 9 months to 4 years which include:
- 15 hours per week for 38 weeks = 570 hours per year
- 30 hours per week for 38 weeks = 1140 hours per year
To support families throughout the year, we stretch the funding across our nursery operating weeks. This means your child receives a consistent number of funded hours each week spread across their days of attendance:
- 570 hours stretched = 11.8 hours per week
- 1140 hours stretched = 22.35 hours per week
We also accept ‘Think 2’ funding. To check your eligibility, please visit the Best Start in Life website.
You can use your funded hours on their own or combine them with additional paid sessions as part of a flexible childcare package tailored to your needs.
Please note: Funded hours do not cover the costs of additional hours outside of your funding, meals, or enrichment activities, which are provided through our chargeable extras. These are optional and you can opt out.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss options outside of the standard stretched offer, please speak to your nursery manager.
