Enquiry and Enrolment Process

  1. Upon receipt of the Enquiry Request Form, we will review the form to ensure we can provide free funded childcare to suit your needs, and if so, we will provide information to you on the possible booking pattern options available for your child.
  2. Should these options be suitable for you, we would then invite you to request to view the setting.

TO BOOK A VIEWING for a FREE FUNDED 15 or 30 hours place, please do so here: https://on.sprintful.com/free-funded-15-and-30-hours-placeviewing-bookings

After viewing the setting, if you wished to go ahead and request a place, we would require an email from you confirming this, together with any questions that you may have.

Upon receipt of the email requesting a place, your child would come in for a few trial sessions, before we can formally offer a place to ensure we can meet the needs of any child attending with us and that it’s the right setting for them.

Upon offer of a place, you would have 7 days to pay the non-refundable deposit of £100 to secure the place. After 7 days, in the event the deposit is not received, the place is automatically cancelled and enquiry closed.
