We are registered to accept Government funding for 2, 3, 4 and 5 year olds as well as self-funded. Our fees are kept in line with the funding rate that we receive from the Government.
2 year old funding:
We take children who are eligible for 2 year funded provision. You are able to check with Central Bedfordshire Council to see the eligibility criteria and make an application at:
https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/info/8/support_for_professionals/521/two_year_old_funding
If you are eligible you must provide us with your eligibility code as soon as possible.
3 and 4 year old funding:
Your child will be eligible for funding the term after their third birthday. A funded place entitles your child for up to 15 universal hours each week during term time.
30 hour funding for 3 and 4 year olds:
You maybe eligible for additional 15 extended hours per week if you qualify for the 30 hours government funding (https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/).
If you are eligible for the extended offer you must let us have your eligibility code together with your National Insurance Number prior to the start of the term for which the extended offer applies.
Tax Free Childcare
The Government-backed Tax-Free Childcare scheme essentially gives eligible families 20% off childcare costs. You open an online Tax-Free Childcare account and the Government adds 20p for every 80p you pay in. For more information refer to: (https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/)
Childcare Vouchers:
Childcare voucher schemes closed to new applicants in October 2018, if you are already a member we are registered to accept payments from all the major providers.
Fee Payments
You can also pay by cheque, bank transfer or cash. Our invoices are issued at the beginning of each month.
