Fees and Funding 

Early Education Entitlement

The Early Education Entitlement is a central government scheme, which provides free childcare until a child starts reception class or, reaches compulsory school age (if later).

The Lloyd Park Children’s Charity offers the following

All FEEE Funding is based on 38 weeks per year either for 15hrs or 30hrs.  The Charity currently offers stretched hours of 50weeks if parents are receiving all year Daycare.  These hours will be stretched by the following:

15 hours FEEE x 38weeks = 570hrs/ 50weeks = 11.4hrs per week for 50weeks

30 hours FEEE x 38weeks = 1140hrs/ 50weeks = 22.8hrs per week for 50weeks

(The entitlement is stretched by 50 weeks per year as we are closed over the December Holidays).

Additional Service Charge

The Additional Service Charge is charged when FEEE Hrs are applied in full or in part against child’s attendance. This charge is for Breakfast, Lunch, Tea, Mid-Morning & Mid-Afternoon Snacks including Hot Meals, Food & Drinks.

The Additional Service Charge is applied as follows and No Discount is applicable to it:

Full Day          £10.64             per day for each 10hrs FEEE applied

AM                  £9.74               per day for each 5.5hrs FEEE applied

 

No Additional Service Charge applies to those sessions where the FEEE hrs are used in full over 38wks (Term Time Contract):

                                                9am to 3pm  (6hrs per day)
