Fees & Funding

Funding of Sessions.

All 3 to 4-year-olds in England are entitled to 15 hours early education or childcare. Some  2, 3 and 4 year olds are also eligible for 30 hours childcare, and some families are entitled to up to 15 hours depending on the benefits they receive.  Please run an eligibility check via: https://beststartinlife.gov.uk/  or consult with West Northants Council to see what your child could be entitled to. You will be given a code to supply to us along with your national insurance to confirm your eligibility for sessions. 

Free government hours can be taken in either our morning or afternoon sessions for 15 hours, or both for 30 hours. 

We also charge a voluntary fee for snacks and meals which is not included in your government funding.  Please see a list of fees below. All parents will sign a disclaimer to say they understand the charges before their child attends the Pre-School.
