Funding

Cheeky Chops Childminding accepts government-funded childcare to help families access high quality early years care.

 

Funded Hours Available

Funded hours are provided by the government for 38 weeks per year (term-time only). At Cheeky Chops, we spread these hours over the year.​

• 30 Hours Funding (22 hours per week stretched) - Available for children over aged 9 months.

​

Standard Fees

Our regular daily fee is £80 per day. This applies to non-funded sessions or when hours exceed the funded amount. All fees are subject to review and may change with notice.

​

Consumables Charge

Funded hours cover care only. At Cheeky Chops, we charge a consumables fee per funded day for all 3 and 4 year old funded places. This helps cover:

• Food and snacks

• Nappies (if required) and wipes

• Arts, crafts and resources used daily

​​

Speak to the setting manager to receive a full fee breakdown, including consumable charges.

​

Tax-Free Childcare

Families can also use the Tax-Free Childcare scheme (subject to eligibility), which offers up to £2,000 per child per year to help with childcare costs. This can be used alongside funded hours.

Parents must apply and reconfirm eligibility for funding via childcarechoices.gov.uk.
