Fees and Funding

At Stepping Stones Childcare, we provide a truly all inclusive service to make each family’s experience smooth and worry-free. Children enjoy freshly prepared, home-cooked meals, a variety of healthy refreshments throughout the day, and all essential care items including nappies, wipes, nappy cream and sun cream. We simply ask families to bring a spare change of clothes, a sun hat for warmer days, and wellies for outdoor adventures. We offer both flexible and structured booking patterns to support the varying needs of families, along with a range of funding options including government-funded hours and the Tax-Free Childcare scheme. Families may also choose stretched funding, allowing funded hours to be used all year round, rather than term time only.
