- Each session is run by a Manager, Deputy Manager & 3 Early Years Educators.
- Each child has a designated Key Worker.
- Our staff aim is to guide each child through a stimulating play based environment. Please feel free to stay for a while until you feel your child is happily settled.
Fees
- £22 per session for all children wef Easter 2024
- A consumables fee for children receiving funding of £1.50 per day. This is a voluntary fee, how ever paying it will help us to remain viable as a setting as we are underfunded by government – Funded fees fall short of the actual cost of providing each place.
- Invoices will be issued at the start of each half term and payable by the date contained.
- Paid for hours can be taken in combination with funded hours.
- Bank credit is our preferred method of payment.
- If your child does not attend all of your booked sessions the amount payable remains the same.
- Late collection will incur a charge of £5 per 5minutes or any part thereof over 10 minutes.
Other payment methods
For childcare costs in addition to the Government funded hours there are a number of schemes available:
- Tax Free Childcare: for every £8 you pay in, the Government pays in £2
- Childcare vouchers: available through participating employers
- Tax Credits or Universal Credit
- Disability Living Allowance if eligible
You cannot access all of these programmes at the same time, so you should research which one is best for you. Click here for an online Childcare Calculator to help work out what’s available.
