Early education with flexibility for families
At Shotley Bridge Nursery School, we understand that not all families receive their funded childcare hours at the same time – and the wait until September can feel like a financial challenge. That’s why we’ve introduced a flexible new offer to help families who may have missed out on funding for the summer term.
If you’re eligible for 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare from September 2025, you can join us now and take advantage of our 50% fees offer – giving you access to our early years provision while easing the cost.
Here’s how it works:
✅ Start now – enrol your child with us between April and August 2025. 💷 Pay just 50% of your fees during this period. 📅 In September, when your government-funded hours begin, you’ll simply pay the remaining 50% that you deferred over the summer months. If enrollment begins in June, the 50% fee reduction applies to June, July, and August. The remaining 50% will be paid over September, October, and November.
This approach provides families with a smoother financial pathway into funded childcare, ensuring peace of mind that your child’s place is secured and that they are settling into nursery life early – a huge benefit when September arrives.
