fees and funding

fees

Our hourly rate with effect from September 1st 2025 is £8.00 for two-year-olds, and £6.75 for three-year-olds and over.

Please see below some examples of our session times and fees by age group.

We accept payment by BACS or Debit/Credit card payment and can also take Childcare Vouchers, or payment through the Government Tax-Free Childcare Scheme

Additional fees

We provide a healthy snack during our AM (8.45-11.45) sessions and for children attending after 3.15pm. We ask for a voluntary donation of 50p per session towards supply and provision of this snack, which is frequently used as a chance to get your child involved in food preparation and cooking, helping their motor skill development, and an awareness of healthy eating.

If you wish to opt out of this donation, please contact the setting manager for alternative arrangements to be discussed.

Late Collection Fee - £10 for the first 15 minutes, then £5 for each additional 5 minutes

Funding

We accept government-funded places for eligible 2-year-olds, and all 3 and 4-year-olds.

Additional hours can be paid for on a sessional basis, please see above, or contact us, for our current fees and availability.

We offer both 15 and 30 hours funded places for eligible families, subject to availability. If you're unsure about your entitlement or how to apply, we're happy to talk you through it and help you make the most of your funding.

It is vital that we receive a note of your funding eligibility code before the start of the term during which the funding is first being claimed. While we may be able to make a late claim, success is not guaranteed. It is your responsibility to check that we have the correct code in time, and that you continue to re-confirm eligibility with HMRC every three months, as required.
