*Meal packs include Breakfast, Morning snack, Lunch and Tea – formula milk is not provided. This is the most cost-effective option when choosing your meal plan where your child attends for the whole day. The government funding does-not cover meals so if you choose to opt out of our meal provision you will be required to provide meals for your children for all the relevant meals in line with our packed lunch policy. If you wish to opt out of our meal provisions you must provide one months’ notice. It is not possible to opt in for selective meals; you must either opt in for all meals or no meals.

Additional Funding Information
To remain eligible for the government funded scheme, parents must reconfirm their eligibility with HMRC every 3 months, or when prompted (except the 15 hours entitlement for all 3-year-olds). Children can access funding the term after their 3rd birthday or the term after their 9-month birthday if accessing the extended funding entitlement. The cut off dates are mandatory and do not change 31st March, August and September. Parents who fail to renew their eligibility code will be liable for any hours already used and may need to alter their plan until the next eligibility period.
Funding Policy
Children can access government funding in blocks of up to 10 hours. We allow parents the option to stretch their funding over 51 weeks per year, meaning you will benefit from a maximum of either 11.18 hours funding per week for the 15-hour entitlement or 22.35 hours per week for the 30-hour entitlement. Any additional hours are charged based on a fee structure set out on Page 1.
For funded hours which are allocated in the priority order of Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fri, Mon regardless of the session attended (save for the Early Bird session which is not available as a funded session) we ask parents to make a contribution towards Meals & Extra-Curricular Activities/Other Consumables which are not covered by the Government Funding we receive. The costs of these are applied according to the session booked. These charges optional and you can elect to opt out. However, if you intend on doing so please speak to Nursery Manager so they can provide you with the relevant policy in respect of providing your own food.
We do also offer a limited number of places on a Term-Time Only basis where you can elect to receive you full 15 or 30 hours per week for childcare for 38 weeks a year.
