| Broken down our pricing into additional hours, food, consumables, and activity charges. |
| Sessions that allow you to attend at either no cost or for the cost of just the food and enhancements, in patterns that we plan out for efficiency. |
| Created flexible fully inclusive offers where parents choose one of our All-In packages at a favourable rate. |
| Provided all the information for you to Build your own package. |
If you are not eligible for funding then we invite you to talk to us as we also offer non-funded private discounts on these hourly rates.

*These sessions are restricted to Monday and Friday and may change each term
**The funding hours are limited when starting in the Summer Term
In all cases we decide which days you can access based on our places available and Mondays and Fridays are prioritised on funded only sessions, so you may not necessarily receive any requested days. If you have specific days you require then our All-In sessions will be your choice.
For all these sessions attendance is monitored to ensure the full government entitlement is being used effectively. Should we find the entitlement is being underused (because you have collected early or arrived late) you may be subject to extra hours charges if funding is removed by the local authority.
We ask that you respect the times booked and do not attempt to claim these government funds fraudulently.

‘Tax Free’ Childcare Accounts
Working parents of children aged under 12 can use Tax-Free Childcare, through the childcare service account, to pay for registered childcare. The Government tops up the money that parents pay into the account. For every £8 parents pay in, the Government will add an additional £2.
| Parents can receive up to £2,000 per child per year. |
| Parents can receive up to £4,000 per child per year if their child is disabled. |
Visit www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare to find out more about eligibility and the scheme.
We advise parents to ensure they have read all advice relating to what is best for them and whether they should move from an existing scheme. The nursery will not be held responsible if your choice results in changes to eligibility for other benefits or childcare cost support.
Best Start in Life
The Best Start in Life website will guide you through your options. It provides access to the application process for childcare accounts and the 30 hour entitlement.
| Use the website to compare childcare options and identify what is best for your family. |
| Eligibility for funding and the 30 hours entitlement is determined by HMRC. |
| Parents should check their own eligibility through the relevant Government website. |
