Fees

Hourly rate 

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

Consumables

Meals and snacks can be provided for all ages at an additional cost - cost is dependant on how many meals/snacks are required, please enquire. 

You are welcome to bring your own meals and snacks (that meet healthy eating guidelines) if you choose. 

All parents are expected to provide:

- Breast milk or formula milk with sterilised bottles for under 1s

- Nappies, nappy cream and nappy sacks (if applicable)

- Water bottle  

- Spare clothes (3 pairs) 

- Waterproof overalls and boots - lots of time will be spent outside all year round.

- Gloves, hats/snoods (seasonal)

- Sun cream and insect repellent (seasonal)

Activities 

There is a £3 per day activity charge. We will not attend a paid activity everyday but this fee supports activities, trips and experiences weekly and throughout the year. 

It is a requirement of my setting that each child (funded or unfunded) attends no less than 6 hours per day, two days per week.  

It is also a requirement for parents to pay for their childcare a month in advance. 

Funding

I accept all government funding. 

A kind reminder that it is the responsibility of parents to obtain the necessary codes before the start of each term to secure funding.  

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 funded 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 (8am-6pm) 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.
