Currently we charge £5.50 per hour. We review our fees on an annual basis. 

You will receive an invoice at the beginning of each term. Our preferred payment method is via BACS. We accept many childcare vouchers (please contact us regarding your employment voucher provider).  We do not accept cheques.

Funded Children (2, 3 and 4 year olds): 

If your child only attends this setting for the funded hours allocated to them, no deposit will be required. 

Non-Funded Children: 

• A deposit of £100 (per child) is to be paid to the pre-school once their place has been confirmed.  
• A deposit will ensure your child’s place and is returnable to you once your child has left Peapod and all fees are paid. 
• A deposit secures your child’s place in the September intake. If you decide to withdraw your child from Peapod after you have confirmed sessions, the deposit remains payable and will NOT be refunded. 
• We cannot use deposits to pay any outstanding fees. 

Combining Funded and Non-Funded Hours: 

• If your child exceeds their funded hours, then a deposit of £100 (per child) is to be paid to the pre-school once the additional hours have been confirmed. 
• A deposit will ensure your child’s additional hours and is returnable to you once your child has left Peapod and all fees are paid. 

If you receive qualifying benefits your 2-year-old child could be eligible for up to 15 hours free childcare per week. Please ask for further details if you would like more information.

We offer 15 hours of free early education to all children the term after their third birthday, where spaces are available.

We also offer 30 hours of free early education to those 3–4-year-olds who qualify for this funding if spaces are available. You can share your 30 hour funding entitlement with Peapod and another setting. To check if you are eligible for 30 hours funding, please visit: www.gov.uk/30-hour-free-childcare.

Any hours that are additional to your child's funded hours will be chargeable at our current hourly rate of £5.50.

NOTE: A claim period may not correspond exactly to the pre-school term so there may be a small charge.  

Please take the time to read your funding form. If you have any queries regarding funding (for example, if your child’s hours do not add up to complete sessions), please contact us.
