In Safe Hands
Deeply embedded in everything we do is the idea that all children should be able to access the highest quality of Early Years Education possible and be given the best start in life. For this reason we have committed to providing core fully funded places. This means all of our children can access their place with us for no charge at all.
Funding we accept and what that means for you
Universal Funding. All children in the UK are eligible for 15 hours a week funding, 38 weeks of the year from the term after they turn three until they go to Primary School. This means a fully funded place in our morning or afternoon group!
Extended 30 hour funding. Some families are eligible for 30 hours a week funding, 38 weeks of the year! For you this means a fully funded place in our Red Group for our all day sessions! You can find the link bellow to see if you are eligible for 30 hour funding.
