Our Fee
Our fees are competitive to the area and to other providers in close proximity offering the same service. We aim to offer a service which is affordable to all, where not only parents who are high earners but
people with low income are able to access good quality childcare.
All 3 and 4-year-olds in England are entitled to 570 hours of free early education or childcare a year. This is often taken as 15 hours each week for 38 weeks of the year and we offer this to all children in that age bracket,
with extra spaces available to parents who require this service either on a morning or afternoon basis. We offer flexibility; for example a parent may wish to access their allocated hours over a period of 3 days, at 5 hours per day.
We also offer 15 hours Free Early Education Funding for Children aged 2 years. Simply make an enquiry at the nursery and we'll check your eligibility.
Children aged 3 are also able to access the Early Education Funding of 30 Hour free per term. These are for TERM TIME ONLY.
Fees must be paid monthly in advance. Full fees must be paid when the week is shortened by holiday or non-attendance for whatever reason. There are no negotiations or reductions. Please see the Manager for the
current fees.
These fees are subject to review and can be changed at any time at management’s discretion.
The 3-5 years’ rate applies from the term following your child’s third birthday.
Prices are calculated on a termly basis. (For school holidays the normal fee rate applies).
