We are here to help make childcare affordable for your family
Fees for a Day Nursery can put many mums and dads off choosing it as an option. But there are a range of Government schemes open to parents that can make nursery affordable – and we will do everything we can to help you understand the choices and access the funding that you might be eligible for:
​
1. Early years funding entitlement for 38 weeks a year
For children a term after they turn 9 months to 5 years old.
​
We participate in the government’s 15/30 hours working parents funding entitlement for eligible from 9 months old. All children, a term after their 3rd birthday, will be entitled to the universal 15 hours funding for 38 weeks a year. The additional 15 hours will be Extended Entitlement for working parents meeting the government threshold. Our nursery will stretch the 15 hours/30 hours funding to 51 weeks a year.
Parents are able to choose how they prefer to use the free entitlement. Please speak to the nursery manager about your specific requirement. A programme of learning is in place which aims to help children achieve a number of early learning goals by the end of what has been termed their foundation stage education (age 3-5).
For more information, visit the gov.uk site.
2. Tax-Free Childcare
Tax-free childcare is a new government scheme to help working families with their childcare costs.
Parents will be able to open an online childcare account to pay their registered childcare providers directly. For every £8 parents pay into these accounts, the government will add £2, and the total amount in the account can only be spent on childcare.
Parents can receive up to £2000 of government support per child per year, or £4000 for disabled children.
