Fees and Funding
Information
On registering a child with the nursery, a parent/guardian will be given the nurseries policy on fee payment.
Funding Available
There are several funding options to help parents/carers with childcare costs.
- Childcare Vouchers – Childcare vouchers are one of the ways in which employers can help their staff with the cost of childcare
- Tax Credit – Tax Credits are provided by the Government to help Parents/Carers with cost of childcare. The amount available through tax credits is dependent on individual circumstances.
- Tax Free Childcare – You can get up to £500 every 3 months for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider. You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.
- Nursery Education Grant/Working Families Funded Hours – Please see the Government website for more information on how to access your funded hours.
