Flexible Timings, Charges & Funding

Flexible Timings

We understand the demands of modern family life, which is why Little Gems Nursery is open for 50 weeks a year, from 7:30am to 6:00pm. Our extended hours are designed to support parents' busy schedules while providing a stable and consistent environment for your child.

Charges and Funding

Little Gems Nursery's standard day rate starts from £63 per day. 

We are pleased to offer government-funded childcare options, including up to 30 hours of funded childcare for eligible working parents from 9 months old.

Funding eligibility:

  • 9 months to 2 years old (working parents): 30 hours

  • 3 & 4 years old: 15 or 30 (working parents) hours

We carefully structure our timetable to help parents make the most of their 30 hours of government-funded childcare. 

About Funding 

 *Your child will automatically receive 15 hours of funding the term following their 3rd birthday. To claim the additional 15 hours, you will need to visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to check your eligibility and apply.

Deductions are made from the school charges on qualifying for the 15 hour or 30 hour free childcare entitlement, once an eligibility code has been obtained from 30 hours free childcare - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Please be aware that in the year that a child is 3 years & 4 years old they are entitled to the Trafford Nursery Grant for up to 30 hours per week. We are also taking children who are aged 2 years old and entitled to the Trafford Nursery Grant for up to 15 hours per week for working families.

We have a limited number of spaces available for funding - please speak to our Nursery Manager for more information.
