Funding Options & Fees
We understand that the cost of childcare can feel overwhelming, and we are committed to supporting families to access the funding they are entitled to.
Both of our settings offer government-funded childcare places for eligible families. This includes 15 hours and 30 hours of funded early education for eligible children.
Government funding covers the cost of childcare and education hours only. Families may choose to purchase additional optional services, such as meals and consumables, but these are not a condition of accessing funded hours.

Funded Childcare – Optional Consumables & Meal Provision
Families accessing funded hours may choose to opt into our optional consumables and meal provision. This covers food and drink provided during the session.
All early education, learning activities and experiences are included within the funded hours for all children, regardless of whether families choose to opt into the consumables option.
Families may alternatively provide a healthy packed lunch if they prefer not to use the nursery’s meal provision.
Please note: we ask that no food containing nuts is brought into the nursery.
