Making sure your child receives the best possible care and early education
Funded Childcare
The government-funded 15 and 30 hours covers the high-quality childcare only. They do not include our extended curriculum, unique pedagogy and education. Nor do they include our enriched activities, high-quality resources, meals, environments or overall experiences that make Little Years the place Where Childhood Belongs.
For this reason, we have always had an Additional Funding Fee for every funded hour. It is entirely voluntary and is agreed individually each term.
We will always ensure every child receives high-quality inclusive care, regardless of whether you opt in or not.
The table shows what you can expect from government funded childcare and the gaps that our additional fee fills.
Our voluntary Additional Funding Fee is broken down below:
York Opt-In: Additional Funding Fee Breakdown (per funded hour)
