We offer childcare for children 0- 7 yrs 11 months. We are open for 51 weeks of the year 8 am -6pm* Monday to Friday. We are closed on all public holidays.

Funding is available for babies from the term after they turn 9 months old, and for two ,three and four year olds starting the term after they turn two, depending upon income and employment status. Some children may receive 15 hours funding for 38 weeks and others may receive 30 hours per week for 38 weeks. We will help you apply for the correct funding.

Funding is only paid for each academic year which is 38 week long, as below

14 weeks for the Autumn term September to December, 11 weeks for the Spring term January to March, 13 weeks for the Summer term April to July.

30 hours funding is available to some parents/carers for 38 weeks of the year, a total of 1140 funded hours

15 hours funding is available to some parents/carers for 38 weeks, a total of 570 hours.

 What you may receive, depends upon your household income and employment status.

You can stretch your funded hours over the whole year or use them term time only.

Your child can use all their funded hours and attend term time only and you would only pay for food @£1 per a half -day session or @£2day for a full day, or bring in packed food and snacks in which case you would pay nothing.

Parents/carers require a multitude of different bookings/shift patterns etc ,and we can offer various patterns of attendance mornings/afternoons/shorter ‘school day hours’/full days term time only or all year round. When you discuss your bookings with us, we will calculate your monthly fee.

Example :

 1.for a baby attending 3 days per week all year round using the 30 hours funding (for the academic year), this would be £176 per month including all food.

2. a baby attending 4 days per week all year round using 30 hours funding (for the academic year), this would be £386 per month including all food.
3. A child aged 2,3 or 4yrs attending 3 days per week all year round using 30 hours funding ( for the academic year) and including all food, this would be £181 .
4. A child aged 2,3 or 4yrs attending 4 days per week all year round using 30 hours funding ( for the academic year) and including all food, this would be £382.84

Please contact us to discuss your bookings.
