Understanding Your Fees

Examples to help you see how it works

Our fees are based on your child’s registered days.
You are charged for the days your child is registered for, even if they are unable to attend.

Government Funding

We don't stretch your funding

At Moonlight Nursery & Pre-School, we believe children should receive their full funded entitlement each funded week.

Unlike many nurseries, we do not spread (stretch) government funding across the whole year.

This means your child receives the full 30 funded hours every funded week, rather than fewer funded hours each week throughout the year.

Parents registered for 3 days per week receive their full 30 funded hours during funded weeks and therefore have no nursery fees to pay during those funded weeks.

Why don't we stretch funding?

Instead of receiving fewer funded hours every week throughout the year, your child receives the full 30 funded hours during funded weeks.

Many families prefer this approach because their child benefits from their full government entitlement each funded week.Instead of receiving fewer funded hours
