FUNDING & FEES

Hocus Pocus Day Nursery offers Funded Places from 9 months up to 4 years of age, provided your child is eligible. We can advise you on how to claim it and recommend your best options. The nursery offers funding for 38 weeks of the year; anything outside of those 38 weeks is classed as wrap-around care. We do charge for meals and consumables, but we try to keep the costs down while providing home-cooked delicious meals. You can, of course, choose to send your child in with a packed lunch.

Funded Places Availability

• 15 hours over two days (9am – 4:30pm)
• 30 hours over four days (9am – 4:30pm)
• Nutritious homemade meals at £12 

Please contact the nursery for more information on how we offer funded places

You may be able to get free childcare for your child aged 9 months to 4 years old if you live in England.

The amount of free childcare you can get depends on:

• your child’s age and circumstances
• whether you’re working (employed, self-employed, or a director)
• your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
• your immigration status

If you’ve already registered, you can sign in to your childcare account.

If you claim certain benefits, you may be eligible for free education and childcare for 2-year-olds under a separate scheme.

It’s important for parents to check their eligibility and apply for the extended entitlement through the government’s childcare service.

Remember, you will only be eligible for funding for the term after your child’s 9-month 2^nd or 3rd birthday.
