Fee and Funding Information September 2026-September 2027

Payment Information September 2026

We have worked carefully to ensure our funding and fee structure remains cost-effective while maintaining the high-quality care and learning experiences you expect from us.

Please note: when accessing funded hours, we request a small charge for optional additional services (such as meals and enhanced activities). These services help us sustain quality and deliver the exceptional experiences our families value. We require your understanding that these fees are necessary to ensure our nursery business remains sustainable and children receive equal learning opportunities and experiences.
