We know how challenging it is as a young family to find the money for childcare fees. We believe in equality of opportunity for all, regardless of parental income levels. Therefore, all funded and non-funded children have access to all activities, snacks and outings, with no extra costs.
Your child's government funding may be used for all sessions. Only hours over and above the weekly funded hours will be chargeable.
There are a number of different types of funding available to help you pay for nursery fees. If you are not sure for what you may be eligible, the following link is the best place to start.
Some 2 year olds in Brighton & Hove who are eligible for certain benefits are entitled to receive up to 15 hours a week of free early learning, or 570 hours spread across the year.
