Funding and Invoicing

Every child is entitled to government funding of a maximum of 15 hours per week to help with childcare costs. Some families will be eligible for extended funding of up to 30 hours per week. You can access https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare to check your eligibility for extended funding.

You may be entitled to funding when their child is only 2 years old – this is conditional of personal circumstances. An eligibility checker on the local authority website, along with other funding information can be found at https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/get-help-paying-childcare

Eligibility for 2 year old funding changed in April 2024, so please also check out the links below for further information and deadlines for applications.

https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

The funding blocks are September, January and April of each academic year. Your child’s funding will start from the funding block following their 2nd or 3rd birthday (subject to eligibility).

You will be approached by staff at the appropriate time to complete the necessary paperwork.

Any hours attended over the free entitlement will be invoiced at the prices listed above. Invoices are issued at the beginning of each term, with the full term charged in advance and payable 14 days after issue.

Snacks and consumables

As well as invoicing for non-funded fees, we send information to parents inviting them to make a voluntary contribution to the cost of arts and crafts supplies and the snack items we serve to your child during sessions (morning and afternoon). We suggest a cost of £1.50 per session. This helps with our grocery and supplies costs.

Breakfast Club

We are delighted to now be able to offer a Breakfast Club provision to our enrolled families.

Our aim is to provide a Breakfast Club that supports families by providing a safe, healthy and useful environment for children from 8:00am to 8:45am, Monday to Friday during term time.

We offer a selection of foods for breakfast, including a choice of nut free cereals, waffles, pancakes, toast, fruit, yoghurts, milk and water.

To attend, parents should make a booking using the following link
