Help towards childcare costs
Paying for childcare has been made more accessible in recent years.
How that looks is different for every family and depends on multiple factors from the age of your child and your family’s circumstances.
We accept multiple methods of payment for your child’s fees.
Direct debit - Bank transfer - Card payment - Childcare vouchers - Early Years Funding - Tax Free Childcare
Please visit: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/whats-new to see if you meet the criteria for any of the below:
9 month funding - 30 hours per week over 38 weeks
2 Year FRAS funding - 15 hours per week over 38 weeks
2 Year working parent funding - 30 hours per week over 38 weeks
3 year universal funding - ALL 3 year olds are eligible for 15 hours of universal funding the term after they turn 3. This is not means tested.
3 year extended funding - 15 hours per week over 38 weeks (this is what makes up the universal hours above to 30)
Tax free childcare - up to £2000 per year towards the cost of your fees
Universal Credit childcare - Claim back up to 85% of eligible childcare costs
Please note from September 2025, all children under working parent funding will be eligible for 30 hours of childcare.
This doubles their previous eligibility.
