Session fees

For non-funded children our fees are £15 per session. Fees are paid termly in advance. We accept payment by bank transfer, cash, childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare.

Funded places

We offer funded childcare places for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. This funding enables parents to access up to 30 hours of free childcare per week, term-time only. If your child attends additional sessions, above what is covered by any funded hours, then you will be charged £15 per session. You will be sent an invoice for any additional sessions at the start of each term.

Free childcare for 2 year olds for families receiving some additional forms of government support

Your 2 year old may be eligible for free childcare for 15 hours per week if you meet certain criteria. This includes those on certain benefits or families with a low income. This funding begins from the term after their 2nd birthday.

As a parent, you need to apply for this funding and then provide us with your confirmation letter before your child takes up their place at Playgroup.
