Fees and Admissions

Ages & Minimum Attendance: We take children from 2 years of age to the end of reception (incl. holiday club). Minimum attendance is 2 sessions per week on different days. If required, we offer morning only sessions (9am – 1pm) for 2 year olds in their first term to help them settle.

Opening Hours: We are open 8am - 5pm, Monday to Thursdays and 8am – 4pm on Fridays, 48 weeks per year.

Show arounds: If you are thinking of joining us, please get in touch and book a show around. (Contact details at the bottom of this page) The best time to come is usually 9:30am as all children are here and settled and you can see everything in action.

Fees: We try to be as flexible as possible with our charging structure and have several options of possible sessions. Our full (non-government funded) daycare rate (8am - 5pm) is currently £68 and includes breakfast, snacks & drinks, warm nursery tea, nappies & wipes. Morning only sessions (for 2 year olds from 9am - 1pm in their first term) are currently £40 per session. (Fees current as at Apr 23).

Help with Fees

The government’s funding system is very complex but any help is welcome…we will do most of the work on your behalf and help you work out the best possible ‘value for money’ choices.

15 Hours Funding: All children are entitled to government funding from the term after their second or third birthday and depending on the current government package. We apply for this funding on your behalf from the term your child is eligible and credit this to your account. All you have to do is check we have all our information correct and then sign the form – don’t worry – we are on this and you won’t miss the deadline. Potential Saving per year on full fees if in receipt of full 15 hours funding: £2500

30 Hours Funding: If you work more than 16 hours per week and earn at least minimum wage but less than £100k per year you could qualify for 30 hours funding from the term after your child’s second or third birthday (depending on current government package). Go to www.childcarechoices.org.uk to apply. If you qualify, please give us the code you received at application plus your national insurance number and we will do the rest. Please note, there are strict deadlines for application, so consider applying at least 4 months before you think your child may be eligible. Potential Saving per year on full fees if in receipt of full 30 hours funding: £5000 (includes 15 hours funding)

Tax Free Childcare: This is an account that you set up with the government through which you can pay your childcare fees to us. The benefit is that the government pays £20 towards your childcare for every £80 you spend, up to a limit of £10000. Potential saving per year: £2000.
