Funding starts the “school” term after your child turns the eligible age. This is just how the government allocate funding even if we offer year-round care.

Fees aren’t calculated this way. Government funding only covers part of the cost of childcare, which is the case at most nurseries.

We allocate 5.5 hours of funding per day. Legally, we can’t allocate 11 hours in a single day. Government guidelines allow nurseries to structure funding in the way that works for them best.

Yes, but speak to the nursery manager regarding availability first, and then we can confirm the costs with finance.

Check our fee structure and speak to the nursery manager to see what’s possible.

You can find all the information on the Childcare Choices website.

Payments must be made by the 1st of each month - if this is not submitted by the 1st, you'll be charged the full amount and the tax-free childcare will be applied to the following month.

You’ll need to submit your funding code and details through our system. We’ll then approve it and apply it to your fees.

There are deadlines, if you miss the deadline, you will be charged for the full nursery fees as we do not have a way to claim these until the next term.

Funding Loop is a software platform that helps parents and nurseries with the process of claiming government funding. You can click here to learn more.
