Admissions  

Here at Kingsway, we offer both 15 & 30 hour funded sessions for 3- and 4-year-olds, as well as funded 2-year-old places and 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 (Refundable fee – T&C apply). Current Fees are available upon request and payable half-termly in advance.

If you need any further advice, please don’t hesitate to speak to our managers Karen and Sarah and they will be happy to help.
