Fees, funded places and school holidays
FEES For Hungry Minds Childcare
Our fees are based on the number of days a week your child attends and calculated on a calendar month. The hours are 8am - 6pm (Early drop off or late pick up on request):
A deposit is taken to secure a place. To reduce the initial financial burden of starting in childcare we use the deposit to cover the first months fees.

Breakfast and after school care - £24.00 per day
After school care only - £18.00 per day

At Hungry Minds Childcare children can access up to 570 hours a year up to a maximum of 15 hours per week, for 38 weeks a year (school term time). As we are open throughout the year we stretch our offer so parents can access 11 hours per week to ensure consistency of invoicing throughout the year.
Parents of 3 & 4 year olds who apply successfully through the Government website and obtain an authorisation code can access up to a further 570 hours a year. This gives a combined total of up to 21.95 hours per week available through the stretched offer.
Not withstanding, a maximum of 7.5 hours can be claimed on any one day when taking additional hours.
Fees for additional hours when receiving only Universal 15 hours (stretched to a maximum 11 hours per week at HMC):
For parents wanting just the EYFE then a maximum of 4.5 hours per day can be taken across the year from 12pm to 4.30pm for those qualifying for the additional 15 hours. For those who do not qualify then a maximum of 2.25 hours per day can be taken from 2.15pm to 4.30pm.
