FUNDING
Funding is a complex topic and we have included a table below to give some clarity. Contact us for further information that may be more relevant to your circumstances.
A few important notes on funding:
-
Funded hours DO NOT cover the charges for meals or sundries (nappies, wipes, and certain resources)
-
Funding applies only for 38 weeks of the year (term-time)
-
Where a child attends all-year-round, we will ‘stretch’ the funding so that parents may benefit fully, or where there is wrap-around care, have lower bills over the whole year.
