Hourly charges are £9.90 per hour and subject to review annually.

We accept the 15-hour and 30 hour funded early education entitlement.

Funded places can be taken as:

• Morning sessions

• Afternoon sessions

• Full-day sessions

Funded hours are allocated within our fixed session structure and are subject to availability.

Additional hours beyond the funded entitlement are charged at our standard rate.

What you need to know.

• 15 and 30 Hour government funding is accepted.

• Funding can be “stretched” over 50 weeks (we close 2 weeks over Christmas) to spread the free hours over the entire year, which means 30 hour funding is claimed at 22 hours per week throughout the year. If attending term time only, the full 15/30 hours will be applied each week if available.

• Voluntary Consumables Contribution: We invite families to contribute £0.75 per funded hour to help cover items such as meals, snacks, drinks, nappies, wipes, hygiene materials, craft resources, and suncream. This contribution is voluntary and funded hours remain free at the point of delivery.

• Ad Hoc hours can be booked but are charged at the hourly rates above with a £2 per hour additional fee are booked at the discretion of the nursery manager.
