Here you can get support from the Government towards paying for childcare. For every £8 you pay in, the Government will add £2 up to the value of £2000 per child, per year.
We also accept payment via Childcare Vouchers that some work places have signed up for. If your company offers them all you need to do is inform them that you wish to do this. We are registered with most providers, such as Edenred, Sodexo, but if we are not it is easy for us to do. Please let us know if you would like to use this as a method of paying.
