30 hours for 3 year olds

1 Consumable Charge

Due to the shortfall in government funding for the 15/30 hours of term-time early education, there is a gap between the funding received and the actual cost of delivering high-quality care and education. To continue providing outstanding early years experiences, we apply consumables charge to help cover essential items used daily in our setting.

CONSUMABLE FEE

Sessional £4.00 a day

Half-day session (Wednesday) £2.00 a session

Full nursery day £5.00 a day

30 hours government funded children.

At Leyland St James' Nursery, we offer two option plans specifically for our families who wish to use 30 hrs. of Government funding. You also have the option to add sessions onto your plan that will be charged at our nursery day rate.

Plan 3 is perfect for our families who just want to do sessional, term time only hours that will continue to fit around school hour drop off and pick up times. Please note, this plan will require for you to use your full 30 hrs. subsidised funding over five days and does not allow for you to add any wrap around sessions on. If you do not wish to attend for 5 days, you do always have the option to stick at the 15 hrs. of funding.

Plan 4 - This plan is specifically designed for our families who require a longer day and therefore require full day care. You have the option to choose any 3 full day care sessions, any other sessions can then be added to your plan and paid for at the daily rate.
