Help with childcare costs
There are several schemes to help families with their childcare costs. The amount that you could save is dependent on household income, the number of children you have and the number of hours you work.
Our team would be happy to answer any questions you have on assistance with fees. More information can also be found on the Government’s childcare choices website.
Government's funded childcare scheme
We participate in the Government’s funded childcare scheme, which can reduce your monthly fees during term time. We can help you to apply for this and then we claim it on your behalf each term. Eligibility criteria are available on the scheme’s website.
Working families are eligible for 22 hours per week of funded childcare (for 51 weeks each year) for children aged 9 – 23 months old.
Working families are eligible for 22 hours per week of funded childcare (for 51 weeks each year) for 2 year olds. We also have a limited number of term-time only places available (30 hours per week for 38 weeks per year).
Alternatively, if your family is receiving certain government support (such as Universal Credit or Income Support), you may be eligible for 11 hours funded childcare per week (for 51 weeks each year) for your 2 year old.
All 3 & 4 year olds are eligible for 11 hours per week of funded childcare (for 51 weeks each year) or 15 hours per week term-time only (for 38 weeks per year).
For working families, this increases to 22 hours per week (for 51 weeks each year) or 30 hours per week term-time only (for 38 weeks per year).
Other schemes to reduce costs
You might also benefit from the following schemes to reduce the cost of your fees.
Tax-free childcare
Working families can get up to £2,000 per year towards childcare costs for children aged 0-11. For every £8 you pay into an online account, the Government will add an extra £2. More information is available here.
Universal Credit for childcare
If you are working and also claiming Universal Credit, you may be able to claim up to 85% of your childcare costs. More information is available here.
