What it costs

Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.

Funded hours

2, 3 and 4 year old funding (15 and 30 hours), Tax Free Childcare and Childcare Vouchers.

Worth knowing. For children receiving 2 year old funded hours, as the funding we receive is sufficient to cover both the hourly rate and the Forest School session fee we do not charge the Forest School session fee as an extra charge. For children receiving 3/4 year old funded hours the rate set and paid by the Government and local council is significantly lower than 2-year-old funding and is primarily for the provision of the EYFS curriculum. For this reason, we charge the Forest School session fee as an extra.

Before you ring

What to ask them

Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.

  • What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
  • How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
  • Do you have a place for a child of my age now? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
  • Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
  • Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
