Childcare funding options

Our priority every day is supporting the children and families we serve. We understand that the rising cost of living can make childcare a real concern for many families.

To help, the UK government offers a range of schemes, including tax-free childcare and funded hours, that can make a significant difference. We’re here to guide you through what’s available and how to access these options.

When you visit any of our nurseries, our friendly team will be happy to talk you through the funding choices and help you find the best solution for your family.
