How it all works

1

How we support you with funding

Once you have your eligibility code from the government gateway, we submit it directly to the local authority and apply the reduction to your invoice. You do not need to do anything else. We remind you each term when your code needs renewing and flag any issues before they affect your billing. If you are unsure whether you qualify for 30 hours, our nursery manager can walk you through the eligibility check at any time. For families starting mid-term, we calculate pro-rata funding so you only pay for what you use.

How fees are invoiced

Fees are billed monthly in advance by Direct Debit, collected on the first working day of each month. Spreading fees across 12 equal payments means your cost stays consistent regardless of how many days fall in a given month. You will receive your invoice by email on the 20th of each month for the following month. Any ad hoc sessions added during the month appear on the next invoice. Four weeks written notice is required to change or cancel your regular sessions.
