Understanding additional services
Government funding is intended to deliver free, high quality, flexible childcare. Funded hours is not intended to cover the costs of additional services. Parents can therefore expect to pay for additional services offered by the childcare provider alongside their funded entitlement. This is a private matter between the provider (Early Learners Nurseries) and the parent. All additional services are chargeable. Additional services are added as a product fee per month. We only accept the payment of fees, monthly, in advance. Parents are required to provide notice in line with our terms & conditions.
Additional Services:
Meals (lunch, dinner or snacks, food activities, baking),
Consumables, (clothing / uniform or sundries - wipes, creams, ),
Additional time (wrap around hours & extra days/ sessions),
Enhanced Activities (trips & outings, extra curricular programmes, special events).

& Childcare Funding
What you need to know?
Working parents may be able to get funded childcare for a child aged 9 months to 4 years old. If your child is:
-
9 months to 2 years old, you can get 15 hours per week of funded childcare
-
3 to 4 years old, you can get 30 hours per week of funded childcare
All 3 and 4-year-olds in England are also entitled to 15 hours of funded early education and childcare per week for 38 weeks. You may be able to get free childcare if you have a 2-year-old and get certain benefits.
Eligible children in England may claim 15 hours of funding, that's 570 free hours per year. Here at Early Learners we spread this entitlement over 12 months (instead of 38 weeks), to help spread the savings throughout the year.
You may be able to get up to 30 hours funded childcare (1,140 hours per year, which you can choose how you take). The ‘30 hours childcare’ scheme is great news for eligible families, who could claim up to double the amount childcare they are currently entitled to. This could take your funded childcare entitlement from 570 hours a year up to 1,140 hours a year. If you’re eligible for the extra hours, you can simply sign up online to get a code to give to us your childcare provider to reserve your place. You’ll get the extra hours once the next term starts.

How to use Tax Free Childcare?
You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. This goes up to £1,000 every 3 months if a child is disabled (up to £4,000 a year).
If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider.
You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 15 or 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.
