How Fees and Funding Work at Little Crickets
At Little Crickets, we believe every family should feel confident and informed when planning their child’s early education. That’s why we want to make our fees and funding options clear. We offer both 15-hour and 30-hour government-funded places, and our nursery is open 51 weeks a year, closing only for bank holidays. We also offer term-time only places if you are funded, which run for 38 weeks per year.
Funded Hours
-
Eligible families can access 15 or 30 funded hours per week at no cost.
-
Any extra hours beyond your funded entitlement are charged at our standard daily/session rates (listed in our prospectus).
-
Families on all-year agreements attending during half-term periods will be charged separately, as these sessions fall outside government funding.
Government Funding Eligibility Guide
We've put this guide together to help you understand how Government Funding entitlement works across all ages for all types of childcare funding.
