Phoenix Early Learners – Funded Offer and Charges

We operate an inclusion and equality policy and ensure that all children have access to childcare places and services irrespective of their gender, race, disability, religion, belief, or sexual orientation of parents.

Providing government funded places for eligible 2, 3- and 4-year-olds

We hold a free waiting list for places which is arranged in order of the date of application (or other criteria as mentioned below). The deposit is £75 at the point of acceptance of a place. This is refundable when the child commences uptake of a place at the setting. The deposit will also be refunded if the place is cancelled.

Admission details

Prior to your child attending our setting, you must:

• Provide a copy of your child’s birth certificate.

• Complete and sign a Parent Contract.

• Sign the terms and conditions in our registration form. These forms provide the setting with personal details relating to the child. For example, name, date of birth, address, emergency contact details, parental responsibilities, dietary requirements, collection arrangements, fees and sessions, contact details for parents, doctor’s contact details, health visitor contact details, allergies, parental consent and vaccinations etc.

All funded sessions are in line with the Government’s Statutory Guidance and Local Authority requirements. When you register your child for their funded place, we will discuss your needs, and as far as possible with availability and staffing arrangements we will accommodate your wishes.

You are not obliged to give us notice for the funded hours however, we respectfully ask that you give as much notice as possible whilst also paying due regard to our notice period for non-funded hours.

Your child may lose their funded entitlement if they have 3 weeks consecutive absence in any one term.
