Mornings 9am - 12pm Afternoon 12pm - 3.15pm · Cost £21.00 £22.75

One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.

Funded hours

15 hours of Government funded childcare each week from the term following their third birthday until they start school; some children also qualify for a further 15 hours (30 hour code required); 2 year old pilot funded places also available.

Worth knowing. These hours are funded for 38 weeks of the year. Please see a member of staff for details as you will be required to complete a form to enable your child to receive these funded hours. A valid 30 hour code is required for this. The 2 year old pilot funded places are also available for those who are entitled, this scheme is not statutory.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.

  • Is £21.00 a session still the rate? 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.
