Our Funded Early Education and Childcare Offer

We are committed to providing eligible children with access to their government-funded early education and childcare entitlement in a flexible and transparent way.

Our nursery is open from 7:30am to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday.

Funded hours

Our funded sessions are:

• Full day: 8.00am – 6.00pm (10 hours)

• Half day: 8:00am-1:00pm or 1.00pm – 6.00pm (5 hours)

Funded hours can therefore be used within our normal opening hours, subject to availability and the child's eligibility.

The government funding is intended to cover the core childcare provision. It does not cover additional costs of snacks, lunch and tea. Parents who do not wish to pay for our optional food charges may provide their child's food from home instead.

Private sessions

Parents who require childcare in addition to their funded entitlement can purchase private sessions.

Our private session rates are:

• Half day (8:00am-1:00pm or 1.00pm – 6.00pm): £30

• Full day (8.00am – 6.00pm): £60

There are no additional charges for snacks, lunch or tea on private sessions.

If you have any questions about our funded entitlement offer, session patterns or optional charges, please contact the nursery team.
