Fees, Funding & Funded Childcare

We understand that childcare costs and funding can feel complicated.

At Charnwood Nursery & Pre-school Group, we aim to make information about fees, funded childcare and financial support as clear as possible so families can make informed decisions about their childcare arrangements.

We offer flexible attendance arrangements, subject to availability, to support different family circumstances and childcare needs. The new CNPG website also highlights flexible attendance as part of its approach to supporting working families.

Fees can vary depending on:

• Setting.
• Child’s age.
• Sessions attended.
• Attendance pattern.
• Additional services.
• Funded hours.
• Individual circumstances.

Please contact your chosen setting for current fees and availability.

Eligible families may be able to access government-funded early education.

CNPG currently provides information about funded childcare for eligible children aged 2–4, including 15- and 30-hour entitlements.

Eligibility and funding arrangements are determined by government rules and may change.

We recommend that families check their eligibility and speak to our team before making assumptions about the number of funded hours available to them.

Funded hours are subject to government eligibility rules and the terms of the funding scheme.

Depending on the arrangement, there may be additional charges for services or hours outside the funded entitlement.

We will provide families with information about applicable fees and charges before arrangements are confirmed.

Eligible working families may also be able to use Tax-Free Childcare to help with registered childcare costs.

The government may contribute towards eligible childcare payments through the Tax-Free Childcare scheme.

Families should check the current eligibility rules and information provided by the UK Government.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for additional support with childcare costs.

CNPG provides information to families about government-funded childcare and other family support programmes.

Funding eligibility can depend on:

• Your child’s age.
• Your family’s circumstances.
• Working arrangements.
• Household circumstances.
• Your child’s individual circumstances.
• The particular government funding scheme.

Funding rules can change, so families should check current government guidance.

If you are unsure about which funding arrangements may apply to you, please speak to our team.

We can help you understand how funded hours may fit alongside your childcare requirements and explain the arrangements applicable to your chosen setting.
