Why pay more? Affordable does not mean low-quality.
Honeycroft works hard to keep costs low. Unlike private nurseries that are run as businesses, Honeycroft is a charity that does not make a profit or pay directors. We pride ourselves on our transparent and clear pricing structure that enables families to use all of their funded hours between 9am and 6pm. We do not restrict the number of funded places and eligible families can choose between the following options spread over 47.5 weeks, depending on availability:
15HRS funded (up to 570 hrs) Options – 12hrs per week for 47.5 wks
- Two six hour days (9am to 3pm) – hot lunch is charged for each day,
- Two morning sessions (9am to 12pm) and two afternoon sessions (1pm to 4pm) – there is no charge for these sessions, however if you would like your child to stay for lunch (12pm to 1pm) then one hour and one hot lunch will be charged for each day as required
30HRS funded (up to 1140 hrs) Option – 24hrs per week for 47.5 wks
- Four six hour days (4 x 9am to 3pm) – hot lunch charged for each day,
- Three eight hour days (3 x 9am to 5pm) – hot lunch charged for each day,
- Five afternoon sessions (4 x 1pm to 6pm & 1 x 1pm to 5pm) – there is no charge for these sessions
Any additional hours required outside of the funded hours are charged at our hourly rate.
