Funding

We have a clear and simple pricing structure with NO hidden charges. Our full days use 6.5 hours of funding (32.5 hours per week). A full time place (5 days) uses a total of 30 hours of funding and costs £60 per week (made up of 2.5 additional hours, plus an entirely voluntary consumables contribution of £7 per day). 

We accept 2, 3 and 4 year old funding (15 and 30 hours).  We accept childcare vouchers via the Tax-free Childcare scheme.  If you receive Universal Credits you could be entitled to a reimbursement of fees of up to 85%.  We can provide paperwork to help you claim this back. 

Please contact us for further information about funded places. 

We ask for a small voluntary contribution of £7/day, to cover items not included in the early years funding, such as additional art materials, snacks, forest school, Tapestry, visits etc. These are costed and itemised on monthly statements. Please note this is entirely voluntary. . A minimum of 2 days is recommended. We do not ask for deposits. However for funded places we require an up to date funding code, NI number and parents DoB.

We provide monthly payment plans so that all fees can be spread evenly across the year. No charges are made for children who receive 'early learning for 2 year olds' funding, accessing up to 2 days care.

If you are not in receipt of any funding, our daily charge is £60. 

We currently have places left for Sept 26. Please contact us for further info.

 Please note that Acorns is a term time only setting.
