Fees

I accept all funding between the hours of 8am and 6pm. The government stipulate that families should be able to access their eligible funded hours with no additional cost. . 

15 Free Hours Eligibility

30 Free Hours Eligibility

Children of working parents are eligible for 30 hours free childcare over 38 weeks of the year, from the term* after their child turns 9months old. 

38 weeks a year is school term time only, so you will not be covered for the Summer holidays (6weeks), October half term holiday (1week), Christmas holidays (2weeks), February half term holiday (1week), Easter Break (2weeks) or May half term (1 week). 

For example 

30 free hours a week over 38 weeks can be taken in three full days 8 to 6pm (10 hours a day), over 4 days (7.5 hours a day) or 5 days (6 hours a day). 

If you require childcare for more than 38 weeks a year, you are able to stretch the hours to cover additional weeks, however this will reduce the amount of hours your child can access per week.  

For example 

Over 48 weeks a year you would be able to use 23.75 hours per week. which could be taken as two full days per week and one morning or three approx. 7.5 hour days or 4 approx. 5.5 hour days.

Of course if you wish to use less than 30 hours per week you can request what suits you.  

*Terms start in September, January and April. 

Hourly rate 

The hourly rate outside of funded hours is £8 per hour.
