Ofsted Report 

We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded another very 'solid good' rating at our March 2023 Ofsted inspection. You can read the report here.  

​​​

Hourly rates

From 1 September 2024 our hourly rate increased and we moved to a split rate rather than a flat fee.  From September, hours not covered by funding have been charged as follows:

• £5.95/hour for 2 year olds

• £5.45/hour for 3 & 4 year olds

 

Note that this charge is currently under review.  Any changes will be with effect from 1 January 2026.

​​

Voluntary and mandatory contributions

• All children will be charged a voluntary contribution of £15/half-term to cover snacks and sundries;

• Nappy-wearing children will be charged an additional (a mandatory contribution) £15/half-term to cover the costs for nappy disposal (in line with Government regulations), and to reflect increased demands for staff time.  However, should you use reusable nappies, the charge then reduces to £5/half-term.  Note that the nappy disposal charge is currently under review.
