Kea Pre-School Fees and Funding
Funding
Funding – We accept the 15 hours early education funding for 2, 3 and 4 year old children, as well as the 30 hour funding for 3 and 4 year olds, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria for these. Please see the funding page for further details, or email if you have queries. We are registered for tax free childcare payments.
Our Fees
As we are a charity, all of our funds go back in to the running of our preschool. Any profit we do make goes straight back in to upgrading facilities and buying new toys, resources and experiences for our children. We always strive to keep our fees as low as possible whilst providing excellent quality childcare and education.
3 & 4 Year Old Funding
Universal funding (all 3 and 4 year old are eligible) is for up to 15 hours term time, or 11 hours stretched (all year). There is also the option to bank some hours to use at another time.
30 hour funded childcare is available to working families. This can be used for 30 hours term time or 22 hours stretched (all year). There is also the option to bank some hours to use at another time.
