Childcare Provider Northwich

As a leading childcare provider in Northwich, Cheshire, we like to ensure parents have all the relevant information they need.

Open 51 Weeks of the Year

Our nursery is open 51 weeks of the year (closed bank holidays and 12pm Christmas Eve until the 1st working day of the New Year). We’re open Monday to Friday and times vary depending on the nursery location. Also, we offer childcare funding. Please see below for more information or contact us.

Childcare Funding

All 3 and 4 year olds are eligible for 15 free hours per week (*T&Cs apply)

Tax Free Childcare

You can get up to £2000 per year from the government to help towards the cost of childcare as long as each parent earns no more than £100k per year. You can claim Tax-Free Childcare as well as 30 hours of free childcare. To find out if you’re eligible along with terms and conditions, click below.

Free* Places

All 3 and 4 year olds are eligible for 15 free hours per week and some children can claim up to 30 free hours! Please call us for further details. We also offer free places to eligible 2 year olds – to find out if you are entitled to these please call your local children’s centre.

Help paying for childcare

The nursery participates in several different schemes which can help towards the cost of childcare such as the government’s tax-free childcare and employer’s childcare vouchers. To find out which works best for you just visit: childcarechoices.gov.uk

Childcare Vouchers

Some employers offer childcare voucher schemes which is a great way of helping working parents with the cost of childcare. To find out if your employer offers a scheme please speak to your HR department who will be able to set this up for you. Remember it can save you up to around £1000 per year so is definitely worth looking in to!

Famly

We recently tried to reduce our paperwork and switched to an online software, Famly. When your child begins their journey with us you will be given a log in to create your own Famly account. On here you will be able to communicate directly with us, complete medication forms, request additional sessions, view invoices, notify us of absences and much more. It’s really efficient and time saving so hopefully makes nursery life a lot easier to navigate for busy parents and carers!

Parent Information

Tapestry

Whilst at nursery your child will have a “key person” assigned to you and your child. The key person will record your child’s progress and development and these special moments will be shared with you using our online system, Tapestry. On Tapestry, you can view your child’s photographs, videos and memories anytime and share them with friends and family if you wish. You can even share your own special moments from home with us such as milestones, family holidays or memorable days out.
