Paying for Sessions
At Playbox Nursery we understand that investing in your child’s future by enrolling them in nursery can be expensive, however there is help available. You can find an explanation of all government childcare support on the new Childcare Choices website: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
Using the website’s childcare calculator, you can quickly find out which of the offers available to you and choose which works best for your family.
Please see our invoicing-policy for full details of how fees are charged.
Free Early Education
WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER FREE PLACES FOR eligible 2, 3 and 4 year olds!
Free places for 2 year olds and 30 hour places for 3 and 4 year olds are available to eligible families. For more information and to find out if you are eligible please go to https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
Please note that whilst the Early Education provision is free, a Consumables & Sundry charge is applied to children accessing 15 or 30 hours to cover the cost of snacks, drinks, special events, language lessons and parent meetings. Places that do not attract this charge are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis.
All children are eligible for 15 hours of Free Early Education from the term after their second or third birthday.
