Early Education Entitlement

Government funding is intended to cover the cost to deliver 15 or 30 hours (22.5 hour stretched equivalent) a week of free, high quality, flexible childcare only. It is does not cover the costs of meals, consumables, additional hours, or additional services.

 

The Early Education Entitlement is offered free. Parents will not be charged a ‘top-up’ fee to recoup the difference between the amount received from the Local Authority and the current hourly rate.

 

Sessions are charged in full where a child is not entitled to free Early Education funding, or, if they have exceeded their entitlement.

 

The free entitlements will be delivered consistently so that all children accessing any of the free entitlements will receive the same quality and access to provision, regardless of whether they opt to pay for optional hours, services, meals, or consumables.

The following charges apply when taking a free entitlement place;

  • Snack/consumables £0.50p per Am and Pm
  • Lunch £2.50 (if session covers 12-1pm)
  • Breakfast £1.50 (if session is from 7.30am)
  • Tea £1.50 (if session is after 4.30pm)
  • All meals/snacks/consumables on same day £5.50 package price (10 hour session only)
  • If you are unable to pay for any of the meals, snack/consumables, please speak to Kayleigh Pollard- Manager or Julie Harvey-Assistant Manager to discuss alternative options to these charges.
