Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay for hourly childcare?

No, we do not offer hourly childcare. Payments are made monthly in advance. Please refer to our payment details for more information.

We offer full-day sessions from 8:00am–6:00pm and morning sessions from 8:00am–1:00pm. Our standard privately paid places require a minimum booking of two full days per week.

For eligible funded-only places, our attendance patterns are:

  • 15 funded hours: one full day and one morning each week.

  • 30 funded hours: three full days each week.

Funded hours are delivered over 38 term-time weeks, on agreed fixed days and subject to room availability. Families accessing funded-only places are not required to purchase additional private hours.

Once your child has been offered a place, you will receive a registration form where you can enter your funding code.

Yes, we offer funded places, but they are subject to availability.

Meals, snacks and care essentials are included in our privately paid session fees.

For funded-only attendance, meals and other additional services are optional and charged separately where chosen. Families can decline these extras and use our published opt-out arrangements.

Please visit our Fees and Funded Childcare page for details of what is included, optional charges and the alternatives available.
