Table of costs Amount Cost Type £5.00 - Details
- I can offer the 30 hrs government grant funding. I except childcare vouchers. Additional charges are for entrance fees for outings ie soft play. Though I am happy to pay entrance fees for toddler groups, parents are charged for entrance fees to activity centres, zoos and other outings. Fees are discounted from £5.50 per hour to £5.00 per hour as I charge half fee for my holidays (5/6 weeks a year, my sickness (up to one week a year) and full fee for bank holidays which I do not work. This is so I have a continuous income throughout the year.
