If you think you may be eligible, or would like support with the application process, please speak to a member of our team. We’re happy to help guide you through the options and ensure you get the support you’re entitled to.

  • In addition to funded hours, families may be able to benefit from the government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme. With this scheme, for every £8 you pay into your childcare account, the government will add an extra £2. This can help towards the cost of preschool fees, up to a maximum of £2,000 per child each year (or £4,000 if your child has a disability).

    Tax-Free Childcare can be used alongside funded hours, but not at the same time as childcare vouchers from employers.

    To find out more and check your eligibility, visit the government’s Childcare Choices website.

  • We are registered to accept childcare vouchers from a variety of providers. If your employer offers this scheme, you can choose to pay some of your preschool fees using vouchers, which may help reduce the cost of childcare.

    Although the government has now closed the scheme to new applicants, families already enrolled can continue to use childcare vouchers alongside their funded hours.

    Please let us know if you would like to pay with vouchers, and we’ll be happy to support you with the process.

  • We understand that childcare costs can be a big commitment, and we want to make things as manageable as possible for families. If you would like to spread the cost of your preschool fees, we can arrange a flexible payment plan tailored to your needs.

    Please speak to us if you’d like to set up a payment plan. We’re here to support you and ensure that your child can continue to enjoy their time at preschool without added financial stress.

  • We offer a range of extra-curricular activities to enrich your child’s preschool experience. These sessions are charged at £2 per session.

    Activities are designed to be fun and engaging, helping children develop new skills and interests.

    Participation is optional, and if you do not wish to pay for these sessions please let a member of the team know.

    Please speak to a member of our team for the schedule of activities.
