Early Year Funding

This refers to government-funded childcare for children from 9 months to 4 years old, offering 15 hours (universal) or up to 30 hours (for working parents) per week. Funding for children under the age of 3 is means tested by ESCC. Funding for over 3 year olds is open to all. To apply for funding click here.

The school applies for funding on the parent’s behalf via the Parental Declaration Form every term. The funding is passed on to the school the term after your child reaches 3 years old. Once we are in receipt of  the funding, we then apply this to the account.

At Skippers, we offer up to 15 hrs funding per week, term time only. This is applied to Session 2 (afternoon sessions only) . Funding is not available for our holiday provision.

 

Fees and invoices

We invoice monthly through the Parenta app. All invoices include a full breakdown of costs.
