Every child is entitled to up to 15 hours per week free childcare. This entitlement is available from the start of the first full term after the child’s third birthday. The hours may be split across 2 providers.
We do not stipulate when you have to use your free entitlement and any funding you choose to use with us we will claim from Wiltshire County Council.
If both parents work, either employed or self-employed (or if you work and are a lone parent) and you meet the eligibility requirements your child may be entitled to 15 hours funded entitlement from the time they turn 9 months old. When your child turns 3 years old this can be combined with the free entitlement above to create 30 hours of free childcare. More information about this entitlement can be found on Wiltshire Council website or the Childcare Choices site.
Some parents may meet the criteria to receive free childcare for their 2 year old. Please visit the Wiltshire Council website for more information.
If you are not entitled to any of the above or wish to pay for additional hours our fees are £5.00 per hour. Fees include a healthy morning and/or afternoon snack.
WE DO NOT APPLY ADDITIONAL CHARGES OR RESTRICT WHEN YOU CAN USE YOUR FUNDED HOURS - PROVIDING THERE ARE SPACES AVAILABLE WE WILL ACCOMMODATE YOUR CHILD
Tax Free Childcare is an online payment account, topped up by the Government, which parents use solely to pay their childcare costs. For every £8 that families pay in, the Government will make a top-up payment of £2, up to a maximum of £2,000 per child per year or £4,000 for disabled children.
We will issue an invoice usually on the first working day of the month. We accept payment by cheque, electronic transfers, cash and debit/credit cards as well as a range of childcare vouchers.
