Questions parents ask
Can I use Tax-Free Childcare too?+
Yes, alongside your 15 or 30 hours. For every £8 you pay in, the government adds £2 (up to £2,000 per child a year, or £4,000 if your child is disabled). It can't be used with Universal Credit childcare support.
My child is already older than 9 months. Is it too late?+
Not at all. You can start your entitlement later, as long as you still meet the eligibility criteria.
What if I miss my reconfirmation?+
If your child already has a place, a grace period usually applies, but please reconfirm as soon as you can.
How are monthly fees worked out?+
Your weekly rate × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months. We invoice around the 15th, and fees are paid in advance by the 25th of the month before. Fees remain payable during absence and holidays.
Do you offer discounts?+
Yes, for full-time places (5 days a week) and for siblings. Discounts don't apply to funded hours.
Can I pay with childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare?+
Yes. Please make transfers by the 20th so payment reaches us by the 25th.
Can I choose my own pattern of attendance?+
We're happy to consider tailored patterns, as long as minimum sessions are met and are the same every week. Subject to availability.
Not sure what you're entitled to?
