  • Fees are charged 52 weeks of the year and apply to all booked days, including bank holidays, nursery closure days, and holidays.
  • Have more than one cherub with us? You’ll receive a 10% sibling discount, applied to the eldest child’s fees.

3+ Year EYFE Funding – What You Need to Know

For children aged 9mths and over, we offer the Early Years Free Entitlement (EYFE) – but here’s how it works at Little Cherubs:

  • We stretch the funded hours over the full year, making it easier for you to plan around a consistent weekly or monthly fee
  • This means your funding is spread across 49 weeks, rather than term-time only. The remaining weeks are charged at full price.
  • Meals, snacks, consumables, or additional activities are charged separately

Deposit:

A Deposit of £450.00 is required to secure your space. This acts as your golden ticket!

Refundable – once your child has been with us for 3 months, and you give us 4 weeks’ written notice before leaving.

Once a place is offered, you’ve got 48 hours to pay your deposit and £60 registration fee to lock it in!
