Fees and funding
Nursery fees and funded childcare in Woodley
Childcare is one of the largest costs a family carries, and comparing nurseries is hard when everyone presents their fees differently. Here is how ours will work at Woodley.
What a fee includes
One rate, not a list of extras
Our fees include meals, snacks, nappies, wipes, sun cream, and the activities that run through the day. We do not price these separately, because a fee you cannot predict is not much use when you are budgeting.
Woodley fees will be confirmed before the setting opens. Register your interest and we will send them to you directly as soon as they are set, along with the session patterns available.
- Meals and snacks included
- Nappies, wipes, and sun cream included
- Activities and outings included
- No separate charge for the settling-in sessions
Funded hours
15 and 30 hours, and how they actually apply
Funded hours cover a set number of hours across 38 weeks of the year. Most families stretch that entitlement across more weeks so the funded amount is the same but the weekly figure is lower.
Funding does not cover meals or consumables, and it does not usually cover a full working day on its own. The honest version is that most working families combine funded hours with paid hours, and we will show you exactly what that looks like for the days you need.
- Check eligibility and application dates on the official GOV.UK service
- Woodley sits in Wokingham Borough for funded childcare purposes
- Funding is confirmed termly and must be reconfirmed
- Tax-Free Childcare can be used alongside funded hours
Other support
Tax-Free Childcare and employer schemes
Tax-Free Childcare adds £2 from the government for every £8 you pay in, up to £2,000 per child each year. It is paid into an online account and sent to us directly.
Eligibility rules change, so we always point families at the official checkers rather than quoting rules that may have moved. If something looks unclear for your circumstances, ask us and we will work through it with you.
Use the government's childcare calculator before committing to a session pattern. It is the only way to compare funded hours, Tax-Free Childcare, and Universal Credit support properly.
