Important information
- These are illustrative full-day quotations only, based on 7:30am–6pm (10.5 hours), a private full-day rate of £106.80, a 52-week private charging framework, 38 funded weeks and 14 non-funded weeks.
- Parents can use up to 10 funded hours per session. Your funded hours are spread across your booked days, up to 10 hours on each day, and any private hours make up the rest of the 10.5-hour day.
- Funded hours already used elsewhere reduce the hours available here. If your entitlement is more than your booked days can use (10 hours per day), the remaining funded hours cannot be used at Little Loves.
- 52-week annual private pricing includes the published bank holiday and Christmas closures; it does not promise 52 weeks of actual attendance.
- The parent charge is calculated only from non-funded private hours (plus any separately agreed optional extras, not shown). Funded hours are free to parents. Kent's age-dependent funding rates affect what the provider receives, not what parents pay for funded hours.
- Deposits apply to qualifying privately purchased full-day bookings and are never a condition of accessing funded hours. Fully funded-only bookings carry no deposit or registration fee. A registration fee may apply to wholly private bookings.
- Quotes are indicative and subject to eligibility, available sessions, funded-hour allocation, contractual terms and funding rules. This is not a final or binding invoice.
