Kindergarten Fees - 2024-2025
Children aged 3-5
​
​From the term after a child turns 3 and up until the end of the term in which the child turns 5, he/she is eligible for funding from the Local Education Authority for up to 15 hours of childcare a week. Sunlands Kindergarten is registered with the funding authorities and is responsible for claiming and administrating the 15 hour funding.
​
Working families, who qualify, will receive an additional 15 hours funding per week, making it a total of 30 hours funding. In order to receive the 30 hour funding parents need to apply directly by visiting the Government childcare choices website: www.childcarechoices.org.uk
​
In order to cover the costs of food and materials there will be a top-up charge of:
£ 4.00 per morning (4 hours at £1.00 per hour)
£ 7.00 all day (6.25 hours, with cost of lunch included)
Children 5 +
Once your child has reached school age, in the term after their 5th birthday, the kindergarten will not receive any government funding. Children are welcome to continue in kindergarten for up to 18 hours a week as part of their Elective Home Education programme.
