Fees & Funding
"The Nursery Education Funding" (NEF) is the new name for the government scheme that provides funding for pre-school children. In Cambridgeshire children are entitled to funding for up to a total of 15 hours, which is equivalent to 6 sessions,from the term after their third birthday. In addition, two year olds in families meeting certain eligibility criteria can also receive funding for 15 hours per week. If you think you may be entitled to receive funding for your two year old and would like more information, please speak to the Playgroup Manager.
You can split your entitlement between different childcare providers (e.g. playgroup and nursery) but you cannot claim for more than fifteen hours in total.
Once your child is eligible for funding, you will be asked before the beginning of each term how many hours per week you would like to claim for your child. Please note that the Government and Local Authority are constantly reviewing the scheme and that changes may occur at any time.
Each child’s attendance at playgroup is conditional upon continued payment of any necessary fees and/or qualification for funding through the government Nursery Education Funding Scheme.
We also run a lunch club, which can be claimed as part of the funding hours. If you are not funded or have used your funded hours, lunch club will be charged at £3.00 per session.
