At Kiddiecare, we believe high-quality early years care should be accessible to as many families as possible. We understand that navigating funded childcare and nursery fees can feel overwhelming, so we are here to help you find the best options for your family. Government Funding
We provide the Government’s 15 Hours and 30 Hours funded childcare offer (plus FF2 funding at Istead Rise) for all eligible children. - New Barn Daycare & Preschool (open 51 weeks per year)
Eligible children aged 9 months and above can access funding. 30-hour funding is annualised across the full year, giving approximately 22.35 funded hours per week. Families can use up to 20 funded hours per week over two full days. - Istead Rise Kindergarten (open 38 weeks per year – term time only)
Eligible children aged 2 years and above can access 15/30 hours and FF2 funding.
Government funding is not intended to cover the cost of meals, snacks, consumables, suncream, or extracurricular activities. As part of our integrated offering, we apply modest charges for these items to each funded session. A confidential meeting can be arranged should you find yourself in hardship and unable to pay these additional charges.
