Admissions
Here at Kingsway, we offer both 15 & 30 hour funded sessions for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds, as well fee-paying places. We recommend that you check out Childcare Choices (https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk) to find out if you qualify for a funded session. We accept childcare vouchers and Tax-free childcare. Our Policy is that we add children to our lists for a place subject to availability once we have a completed registration form and enrolment (non-fundable fee – includes admin, settle in sessions and a T-shirt). Current Fees can be accessed below and payable half-termly in advance. We invoice via Tapestry.
