Fee's & Stuff | Child First Welbeck

Child First is committed to continuous improvements and, while there are a number of training opportunities for the staff teams, it is important that some of this are not carried out in the evenings and weekends so that we can Involve the whole team. As part of this programme, Welbeck Child First has allocated five ‘working days’ when staff will be required to carry out essential training including first aid. Please note that these training days are payable at your usual daily rate and sessions in lieu cannot be arranged. We hope you will recognise the importance of this to improve our services to you and the children and thank you for your support.

Nursery Fee's and Funding

Please be aware we have 5 staff training dates each year.

Nursery education funding

In March 2023, the Government announced plans to increase access to funded childcare hours to include younger children. You may be eligible for 30 hours per week term time funding for your child if you are working and earning at least the equivalent of 16 hours a week at the national living or minimum wage, but less than £100,000 a year.
If you are a couple then this applies to each of you – if one of you doesn’t work, or one of you earns over £100,000 you won’t be eligible.

Childcare funding

Most families will be eligible for childcare funding. Visit the Best Start in Life website for more information on how to apply.
If eligible you will also get 20% or up to £2000 from the government towards your childcare costs (tax-free childcare). Visit the Best Start in Life website for more information on this.
Our fees are the parental contribution and take funding in to account.

Funding at Child First Welbeck

We spread the funding across the year giving you 12 equal monthly invoices.
Additional hours above your funding will be charged at our full rate.
We have a minimum attendance of 2 days per week.
We accept tax-free childcare.

Our Funded Fees

At Child First Welbeck we charge our funded sessions per consumables within the funded nursery session. Below is an example of our voluntary consumables in the price-band for 3-5 year olds. Please note these prices will differ slightly depending on the age of your child.

Funded hours are 15 hours or 30 hours weekly term time. We can stretch these so your child is able to attend all year round to 11 hours weekly or 22 hours weekly. Fees for our full-priced sessions can be obtained by contacting the nursery directly.
