Fees
We are registered with Ofsted and the local authority which means we can claim the Nursery Grant. This funding is claimed on an hourly basis. F2 and F3 children, from the term after their 3rd birthday, are eligible to claim up to 15 funded hours and F1 children can claim up to 25 funded hours.
However the minimum hours you can claim in a day are 2.5 and the maximum are 6.This means that parents of F1 children can claim up to 25 hours and will only be charged for any extra hours they attend if they attend for more than 25 hours in a week or more than 6 hours in a day.
A full day at Stepping Stones, including Lunch Club is 6.5 hours. F2 and F3 children will only be charged for any extra hours if they are attending Stepping Stones for more than 12.5 hours in a week or more than 6 hours in a day. The extra hours your child attends will be charged at the nursery grant rate which is £3.70 an hour.
