Session times
Good to know
A £10 per-day surcharge applies on top of the hourly rate for morning and school-day sessions, and £5 for afternoon sessions.
Our term-time-only offer covers the 39 weeks of school term. In school holidays we charge 30% of the normal rate as a retainer to keep your place reserved.
Fees are charged monthly in advance, calculated on a 51-week year and spread over 12 equal instalments, so payments stay predictable.
You can avoid these charges entirely by choosing full-day sessions all year round.
Funded-hours extras
£1.50 per funded hour. Everything included
For funded hours we charge £1.50 per funded hour, covering a wide range of extras that enhance your child's time with us at a bundled, discounted rate. You may opt out of any item. The full individual cost shown below then applies for each item opted out of.
