Fees & Help With Finances

Affordable childcare, funding friendly

Funded Childcare

Our nursery welcomes all children and accepts all aspects of government funding. Some sessions are structured slightly differently based on the funding rate for each age group – please ask for more information. We can offer both term-time only and stretched funding models to cater to your family needs. Please request a funding form from the office for all types of funding and visit the Childcare Choices website for more information about all funding types: Childcare Choices | 30 Hours Childcare, Tax-Free Childcare and More | Help with Costs | GOV.UK

What Makes Us Affordable?

At Little Pearls our hourly booking structure means that you only pay for the childcare you really need. Having looked at many of our competitors’ fees this makes us largely more affordable on the whole AND promotes family time! For any non-funded sessions, we reduce our fees as children grow and legal ratios change, which means your childcare with us gets cheaper over time. Non-funded sessions can also be booked term-time or all year round.

Childcare Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare

We accept childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare for families who are registered. For more information of how you can get help from the government with your childcare needs please visit the Childcare Choices website via the following link: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

We are also very happy to support families on Universal Credit by supplying evidence of your child’s nursery place with us.

Please see the table below for our fees list. We charge by the hour so you only use what you need between the hours of 7am and 6pm. We also offer a 50% holiday rebate if you give us 2 weeks’ notice or more.
