Fees > Early Years Funding
The nursery claims the grant for eligible children, subject to the receipt of the relevant code issued by the Government, the parents National insurance number and completion of the parents declaration form for the relevant term. The hourly funding rate paid by the Government reduces as the child gets older.
The Funding has 3 categories:
9-23 months
2 years
3 and 4 year olds
The funding rate remains the same until the beginning of the term following your child’s 2nd or 3rd birthday. It is stretched over the full year ie 52 weeks therefore 15 hours becomes 11.17 hours per week and 30 hours becomes 22.34 hours per week. The nursery allows full time children to attend for 45 hours per week, therefore the additional hours are charged on a monthly basis at the rate applicable for your child’s age category. This should equate to the monthly fees shown under the fees- private and sponsored section.
It is the parents responsibility to re-confirm their eligibility on the Government’s system on time, failure to do so could result in the loss of your child’s funding.
If you are eligible for the additional 15 hours funding, please submit your code, national insurance number and name of parent to the nursery office for processing.
A declaration form will need to be completed by parents each term for audit purposes.
Please contact the Nursery office for further information.
