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.
