Whilst we have a daily routine, we like to remain flexible and regularly adapt a session to suit the needs of the children and to make the most of unplanned opportunities. A typical day, however, will be based on the time-table below.
We ensure that staff sit with the children to eat their lunch so that these times are a social occasion in which children and staff can participate. In order to protect children with food allergies, we discourage children from sharing and swapping their food with one another.
We know that childcare funding and fees can feel confusing, so we aim to keep things as simple and transparent as possible for our families. At Stoughton Nursery & Pre‑School, we offer flexible childcare options and accept all forms of government‑funded childcare. Funded hours can be used to cover all of our charges, including breakfast, lunch and extended day sessions. There are no hidden extras or top‑up fees you can use your entitlement to cover the sessions you need, with any additional hours charged at a clear, standard rate.
For full details of our current fees and funding options, please get in touch with us or download our fee information.
Eligible working parents may qualify for up to 30 funded hours per week through the working parent entitlement. This can apply to some eligible two‑year‑olds, and eligible three and four year olds, in addition to their universal 15 hours. Eligibility is set by the government and requires a valid funding code, which must be renewed regularly.
Stretched funding allows funded hours to be spread across more than the standard 38 weeks, helping families manage childcare costs more evenly across the year.
We offer both standard term‑time funding (38 weeks) and stretched funding across up to 48 weeks, in line with our year‑round opening. This means your child’s annual funded entitlement is spread evenly across the year, providing more consistent childcare for working families.
This approach allows families to balance funded hours with the sessions they need across the year. We explain clearly how funded hours are applied and are always happy to talk through what this looks like for your child.
No. We do not charge top‑up fees. Funded hours can be used to cover all sessions, including breakfast, lunch and extended day care. Any hours beyond your funding entitlement are charged at our standard rate, with no hidden extras.
Absolutely. We’re always happy to help. Funding can vary depending on age and circumstances, so we encourage parents to speak to us or book a visit to talk through the options in person.
