Fees and funding
Clear, transparent fees, the same at both our nurseries and kept up to date in one place. Funded hours are available for working families from nine months.
Fees
At Into-Play we pride ourselves on our fully transparent fee structure. For our non-funded hours we have a set price that covers the whole time the nursery is open, 10.5 hours, with no hidden extras. Some settings advertise a cheaper daily fee, but this is normally for a set number of hours, not their full opening hours, and they charge extra for early drop off or later pick up. At Into-Play we do not want to disadvantage parents who need these times.
