The UK government has introduced various funding initiatives to support early years education and childcare. Here are some of the key funding options available:
15 Hours Free Childcare: All 3 and 4-year-olds can access 15 hours of free early education or childcare per week. Eligible 2-year-olds from lower income families may also qualify.
30 Hours Free Childcare: Working parents of 3 and 4-year-olds can access up to 30 hours of free childcare per week.
9 Months and Above: From September 2024, working parents of children aged 9 months and up will be entitled to 30 hours per week. Rise and Shine will accommodate for children 2 years a term after their birthday.
For this purpose, the terms are as follows (these are in line with the Early Years Education Funding term dates):
Autumn term – 1st September to 31st December
Spring term – 1st January to 31st March
Summer term – 1st April to 31st August

Nursery Snack Fees & Lunches
We provide a variety of nutritious snacks. Please discuss any special dietary requirements, allergies, or intolerances with the nursery.
Snack fees are £10 per half-term and are payable during the first week of each new term, alternatively you may choose to send a small, healthy snack from home. If your child has severe allergies, we recommend providing their own snack. Children staying for lunch must bring a healthy packed lunch
Personal Care & Nappy and Toileting
Parents and carers are responsible for supplying nappies, wipes, and creams for their child. If these items are not provided, any toiletries supplied by the nursery will be charged to the parent or carer.
Note:
All fees must be paid in advance, during the first week of each new term. Childcare payments can be made either in cash or by bank transfer
