Fee Assistance/Funding
You can now find a straightforward explanation of all government childcare support on the new Childcare Choices website: www.childcarechoices.gov.uk.
Childcare Choices brings all the government childcare offers together for the first time, providing a simple way of seeing which schemes are available, with easy next steps to where you can find out more.
Using the website's Childcare Calculator, you can quickly find out which of the offers are available to you and choose what works best for your family: www.gov.uk/childcare-calculator.

Fees and Charges summary
The following families may be entitled to 15 or 30 hours funded deduction from their nursery bill
​
(a) Who are 2 years old and who have been approved for ‘Funding for 2 year deprivation grant’
(b) Who have achieved their third birthday and are eligible for their Free Entitlement (FE), at either 15hrs or 30hrs
(c) Working families of 2 years olds may be entitled to 15hrs funded
(d) Working families of 9mth-2 year olds may be entitled to 30 hrs funding (September 2024)
30 hours entitlement
​In September 2025, the government will roll out 30hrs of funded childcare to working families- broadly speaking, families will be eligible for this additional FE if both parents are working +16 hours per week. Please see www.gov.uk to find out more or to apply.
​
If you require hours outside of your funding, a wraparound charge is available so you can drop off and pick up at a time that suits you and your family.
​
Choosing a Funding Pattern
We have developed four options for parents to choose from when deciding how they want to use their funding. Please be aware that some options operate a waiting list and are ‘place planned’. We cannot mix booking patterns - so you will need to choose the one that best suits you and your families needs, we can provide options and costings on your showaround, or alternatively get in touch with the days that you specifically need, and we can discuss further. For those parents who require non- funded days we also have a package of costs that suit.
