Opening Times
Monday – Friday 7am – 7pm
We are open 50 weeks of the year. We are closed for one week at the end of August (usually the week when the summer bank holiday falls), we close over Christmas and we are closed on all England bank holidays. All our closure dates can be found here. We do not charge if your usual session falls on a day when we are closed.
Fees
Our fees are flexible and all inclusive! All food, drinks (including formula for children under 12 months if required), nappies, wipes etc, daily activities, local outings and any other additional activities, for example, French classes are included in the fees. The only things we charge for are optional extras, such as the hairdresser or outings further afield, such as the zoo.

These fees are a guide only and do not form any part of a contract. All fees are per child. All fees are to be paid a month in advance by bank transfer, Direct Debit, childcare vouchers, tax free childcare or a combination of two of those.
Please note: 30 hours funding and all funding for 3-4 year olds cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount.
Registration Fee and Deposit
We do not charge any registration fees! We charge two weeks of normal fees calculated using the child’s usual sessions as a deposit. The deposit will be credited against your first month’s fees.

Government Funding
We offer government funding for eligible children. The government stipulate that children cannot claim funding immediately from when they turn 9 months, or their 2nd or 3rd birthday, but they can claim from the term after their birthday or the term after they turn 9 months. You must obtain a code in the term before they are eligible for funding designed for working parents from the government website here.
We offer stretched funding over 50 weeks if your booking is year round or term time over 38 weeks if your booking is term time only. The funding you receive will be split equally over the days booked each week and will be deducted from your invoice, leaving only the hours above your funding allocation to pay for. We do not charge a top up fee, consumables fee or any other type of supplement for funded childcare; it is completely free, and all food, drinks, nappies, wipes etc are still included!
