There is universal funding for 3 and 4 year olds for up to 15 hours per week and for working parents this can be up to 30 hours per week. Please see the childcare choices website for more information and to apply.

Additional Charges

For funded places a voluntary consumable charge applies which is explained in detail at your child’s first visit and is also documented in their welcome pack, on our terms and conditions and in our consumables policy.
