Session Fees:

Pre-school fees are currently £22.80 per session (3 hours) for children who are not funded.

 

Early Years Funding:

We are registered for the Government Early Years Funding Scheme (EYFS).

·         All 3 & 4 year olds are eligible to take up 15 hours a week (570 hours a year) funded childcare for 38 weeks of the year (during term-time).

·         2-year olds in receipt of certain benefits (or currently or previously in local authority care) are entitled to funded childcare for up to 570 hours a year.

·         Eligible working parents can access care for their 2-year old (expanded entitlement).

To check your eligibility:

•  2-year old entitlement linked to benefits – apply online www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/free2s or by phone to Education Welfare Benefits Team on 01223 703200. You will need the National Insurance Number, date of birth and surname of the person in receipt of the qualifying benefit.
•  Working Parents (expanded entitlement) for more information and to check eligibility, go to Government Childcare Choices

If you are eligible for entitlement as a working parent, you will be directed to the HMRC webpage to apply and will be issued with an 11-digit eligibility code which you will then need to bring to us to check the validity of the code. If you are a foster carer, please apply through your social worker.

The eligibility code will allow you to access the entitlement. Deadlines for applying to Childcare Choices:
