Early Years Funding

The Government's newly announced extension of the 15 hours funding in childcare (applicable 38 weeks a year) for babies older than nine months will be implemented on September 2024 and apply to all eligible working parents who meet the eligibility criteria set out on the childcarechoices.gov.uk website

As of September 2024, you can apply to a 30-hours funded place if your child is 2 years old. You must earn more than £139 per week, but not exceeding £100,000 in the year for each member of the household (so £200k in the year), which will provide you with 30 hours / week 38 weeks a year or 22 hours a week 51 weeks a year (a total of 1140 hours in the year). Eligibility criteria apply so read up and enquire below

This is a Universal benefit for all families with children between the ages of 3-4 years old, allowing you to draw funding for 15 hours of childcare / week for 38 weeks a year, or 11 hours / week for 51 weeks a year if you require full time care. All we need is a termly parent declaration form from you to secure it. 

Our approach is to balance child-led, free play with our resource rich enabling environments with that of adutl-led, focussed activities that seek to enrich your child's learning beyond the borders of our room and school. We're talking cookery club, dance and drama, awesome outings and excursions, pottery classes and much, much more.

The government's universal benefit that is not curtailed by the age of your child is tax free childcare. It means that for every £1 you invest into your government managed tax free childcare account, the state will contribute another 20p up to a maximum of £2000 a year. Eligibility criteria apply and you cannot use it with the workplace nursery scheme, which would otherwise provide you with a much more substantial saving in tax.

We've developed a proprietary multinational curriculum that investigates 12 regions of the world, spending time to interrogate the people, the places, the animals, objects and cultural activities ( arts, literature, food, dance, you name it) of a particular country within that region. Ultimately, we want our children to graduate excited by the world, the people and cultures within it and primed with a belief that differences are to be celebrated

Our intercultural education programme  would not deliver without a focus on second language acquisition. We have specialist language teachers in the team to focus on developing fluencies in languages that matter to the future and demonstrating all of the cognitive benefits that immersion can offer
