Fees and Funding
We accept all the funding for 2,3 and 4 year olds.
We do not limit the number of hours funding that can be claimed in each day. Children attend for 5 hours a day (9.15am – 2.15pm) so 3 days would equate to 15 hours which is what most parents claim.
The funded hours are offered free of charge but a voluntary fee is charged each month based on the number of funded hours used in order for us to remain a quality, sustainable business, to offer a very favourable ratio of 1 staff to 5 children (Ofsted recommendation for children age 3 years is 1:8 and due to increase), and to have a high retention rate of very experienced, qualified staff by paying them more than the minimum wage.
Our fees are reviewed annually in April – please contact Nadia for up-to-date information.

Holiday Club
Subject to staff availability we are usually able to run a holiday club at the Leigh site for children in reception to year 4 for one week at Easter and two weeks in the Summer holidays. Holiday club dates and booking details are issued in January each year. Please contact us for more information.
