Additional Services Charge

The remaining fee is referred to as the Additional Services Charge. This optional package covers the shortfall that remains after government funding is applied, as the funding received is insufficient to fully support our specialist educational programme.

The funded hours are free of charge but we offer an additional services charge for specialist one-to-one tuition in Maths and English, as well as small group sessions in Kinderama, Teddy Tennis, Rhyme Time, Little Kickers, and Yoga. We also provide a mix of prepared fruit at snack time. We ask you bring in your own nappies and baby wipes.
