Consumable Information
From April 2025 government guidance requires nurseries offering funded places to clearly break down any charges for consumables and additional charges. The below explains what is included in your government funding, what we offer beyond that and why we make a consumable charge. Under the new legislation we provide transparency to parents and an option to opt out of consumable charges, if the parents only wants to access the funded hours with no extras. Please speak to our manager about alternative options if you are unwilling to pay for some or all of the consumables.
As the government funding is there to cover the basic provision of the EYFS, there are certain things that are excluded from the funding and included in your consumable fee.
These are:
Meals, dessert and snacks.
Nappies, wipes and sun cream.
Extra activities including gardening, sensory explorers, parties, trips to the community, special events.
Additional high quality resources e.g. sensory equipment, baking supplies, online communication platform.
To go beyond the basics and provide the quality of care and learning we are proud to deliver, we offer an enhanced provision, which costs more to deliver than government funding provides. Charging a daily consumables fee allows us to maintain the exceptional care and learning experiences we are known for.
Full day consumable Fee - £15
Half day consumable Fee - £7.50
