Funding Your Child's
Place at Nursery
A Little About
Funding
Unfortunately we cannot offer our service level for free. We do accept all types of government funding, vouchers, or any other contributions to help you cover the costs of Nursery. If you need help to work out what you are entitled to in terms of aid, you can visit the government’s childcare cost calculator, here.
If you are studying at University you may qualify for a childcare grant, you can find more information here.
There is similar support for parents on Universal Credit, you can find full details here.
The cost of Bright Start is to be paid once every month and within 10 working days of the invoice being issued to you. We do charge for non or late payments, so it is best to contact us beforehand if you are having trouble keeping up payments

Alternatives
Children are entitled to up to 15 hours per week childcare for 38 weeks of the year (school term) from the term after their third birthday. From September 2025, you’ll be able to get 30 hours of free childcare for your child from the age of 9 months if you’re working.
Please see below guidelines:
There is no registration fee or deposit for children that are accessing Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) sessions. Places are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of 11-12 hours may be taken in any one day. This includes 30 hour funding. These sessions only run during the FEEE term time only and your child will not be expected to attend outside of term time. If you wish your child/ren to do extra session, you need to collect extra form to fill and sign a contract and charges apply.
