Paying for childcare

 

Enjoy simple and straightforward pricing with Woodlands day nursery.

It can be really confusing trying to work out the cost of nursery care when there are different fees for different age ranges. At Woodlands we charge one standard rate for every child – how simple and straightforward is that!

Our nursery fees are also fully inclusive of most formula milks, disposable nappies, creams and lotions as well as a afternoon snack, lunch and tea, in the appropriate sessions – so no hidden costs!

As an all round setting we offer limited term time only places for teachers and there is a surcharge for these places. Please feel free to call us to discuss.

We are able to provide this easier pricing structure because of the way we manage our nursery and continue to invest in your child’s learning and development. In the baby unit, we do require a higher ratio of staff and include nappies and milk within the price of your childcare. However, our pre-school children enjoy the skills of a qualified full-time nursery teacher.

There are also a range of discounts and benefits which you may be entitled to and could help towards the cost of childcare, these comprise:

  • Childcare Vouchers.
  • Sibling Discount.
  • Funding for children aged 9 months, 2 year old and 3/4 year funding. Subject to eligibility and running solely for the weeks set by West Berkshire term dates.
  • Discount for children of NHS workers and for parents who work on Greenham Business Park. Evidence must be provided for this.
  • Universal Tax Credits
