Funding

The government / local authority offer various schemes of financial assistance which can make a valuable contribution to the cost of our Montessori Educational Programme at Little Sweethearts.

We accept all categories of funding that are available.

Early Years Funding

• Up to 15 hours universal entitlement available to ALL 3 and 4 year olds

• Up to an additional 15 hours funding (30 hours in total) for eligible 3 and 4 year olds

• Up to 15 hours funding for eligible 2 year olds

• Up to 15 hours funding for eligible 9 month to 2 year olds

Tax-Free Childcare

You can claim up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. This goes up to £1,000 every 3 months if a child is disabled (up to £4,000 a year).

Company funded childcare

We accept payment through various schemes that are provided by some companies to assist their employees with nursery education. Enjoy Benefits is one such scheme.

VAT is not payable

As we are on the Early Years Register which includes children up to the age of five VAT is not payable on our school fees.
