Our Fees

If your child is not entitled to a funded place or if your child attends for more hours than their funded entitlement covers, either 15 or 30 hours; the fee per hour is £5.50 which equates to £16.50 per 3 hour session and £33 for all day.

An invoice is sent out at the beginning of each half term, which covers the proceeding half term period. Payment is due before the end of the first week of the proceeding half term.  Payment can be made directly into our account or by cheque or cash; cards are not accepted at present.

Funding

2 Year Olds - 15 hour offer

If you are in receipt of benefits or some form of Government support you may be eligible for 15 hours funded childcare.  You can apply online to check if you are eligible for the two year old funding, use the link below to apply.  Parents may apply for the funding up to 16 weeks before their child turns two.  The two year old code issued by Havering is only valid at a Havering registered provision.  If your application is successful, please forward onto us a copy of the offer email, which shows a validated reference number from Havering. 

Three & Four year old Funding - Universal 15 hour offer

No application is required by a parent.  Once we have checked your child's date of birth, address and the parental declaration has been signed, we will make a claim to Havering for the funding.  The table below shows when your child will be eligible for their funding depending on their birthday.

Three and Four year old  -  Extended 30 hour offer

Parents must apply online for their 30 hour funding code, this can be done via the link below.  Parents can apply for the extended 30 hour offer up to 16 weeks before their child turns three.  We require the 30 hour validation code, the National Insurance number and date of birth of one parent in order for us to validate the code on our system and put in a claim for the funding.  Parents are responsible for re-validating the 30 hour code periodically online; failure to do so will result in funding being reduced to 15 hours and any additional hours being invoiced.
