Funding

We accept government funding for all 2, 3 & 4 year olds. Universal funding, working families and 30 hour funding is available the term after your child’s 3rd birthday. 15 hour Universal funding is available to all 3 & 4 year olds and can be accessed at the Preschool by completing a funding form. To see if you are eligible for 30 hour funding you will need to go to https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk

We also accept 2 year funding and to check if you are eligible to receive that funding you can go online to Northamptonshire County Council website and complete a quick eligibility check or visit the government website for working families.

We also accept childcare voucher schemes and tax free childcare.

Fees

At our Preschool, we believe in clarity and fairness when it comes to fees.

  • All-Inclusive Fees: Our fees cover all snacks and consumables—there are no hidden costs.
  • No Additional Charges: We do not charge sign-up fees or require any payments for funded hours.
  • Optional Contributions: If parents wish to make a voluntary cash contribution, they are welcome to do so, but only if they are able.
  • In-Kind Donations: We greatly appreciate the generosity of families who bring in fruit, donate crafting materials, or provide items that enhance our daily activities.

Our goal is to ensure every child has access to high-quality early education without financial pressure on families.
