Our Nursery Fees

Wilburton Fees

Nursery education funding changes

In March 2023, the Government announced plans to increase access to funded childcare hours to include younger children. You may be eligible for 570 hours/yr funding for your child if you are working and earning at least the equivalent of 16 hours a week at the national living or minimum wage, but less than £100,000 a year.

If you are a couple then this applies to each of you – if one of you doesn’t work, or one of you earns over £100,000 you won’t be eligible.

To find out more about the new funding, please sign up on the government Childcare Choices website.

When do you get funding?

  • Currently, children 3 or over are all entitled to universal funding, most working parents are entitled to extended funding as well.
  • From April 2024, most working parents of children aged 2 or over will qualify for some funding help.
  • From September 2024, this will be lowered to children aged over 9 months.
  • From September 2025, the help for children under 3 will be doubled.

Funding at Beach Babies

  • We spread the funding across the year, giving you 12 equal monthly invoices.
  • We have a small number of funded spaces with no consumables/sustainability fees.
  • The remainder of spaces can utilise funding but incur a charge for both funded and unfunded hours.
  • We have a minimum attendance of 3 days a week, which must include a Monday or a Friday.
  • We accept Tax-Free Childcare.
  • We accept Childcare vouchers.

Registration

To register your baby complete and return a registration form, most parents register their child before birth, don’t worry we will update the form as you give us more information.

To secure your place you pay a registration fee of £150 and a deposit of the first months’ fees based on the current years prices. The fees are then set against your child’s first invoice when they start.

Both deposit and registration fee are non-refundable.
