Eligible families may be able to access 15 or 30 funded hours, as well as Tax-Free Childcare, with funding applied based on your child’s age, sessions, and attendance pattern; our competitive fees include all meals, snacks, activities, and learning resources.

Government Childcare Funding

Settling In
Starting nursery is a big step for both children and families, and our settling-in process is designed to be gentle, flexible, and child-led. Each child is supported by a dedicated Key Worker who builds a trusting relationship with the child and their family, helping children feel safe and secure. Parents are encouraged to spend time in the nursery during this period, and we work closely with families to adjust the process as needed so every child settles in confidently and comfortably.
