Sibling Discount
Where more than one child in the same family attends the School or Nursery, the younger siblings will be granted a 5% discount on Fees.
Funded Education
Universal Entitlements:
All children aged 3 and 4 years are entitled to 570 Universal Hours of Early Education Funding (EEF) per year. From January 2025, at Edenhurst this will be stretched across 50 weeks per year so you will see this applied on your invoice as 11.4 hours a week.
Working Parents Entitlements:
Some parents of children aged between 9 months and 2 years are also entitled to up to 570 Working Parent Hours of Early Education Funding (EEF) per year. From January 2025, at Edenhurst this will also be stretched across 50 weeks so you will see this applied to your invoice as 11.4 hours a week. To receive the full 11.4 hours, children must attend 3 days a week. Please visit Childcare Choices at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to see if you are eligible for this.
Extended Entitlements (30 Hours Free Childcare):
Some 3 year old children will also be eligible for another 570 hours if both parents meet the criteria required. To qualify for the scheme, parents must be working and each earning at least £120 a week (on average) and not more than £100,000 each a year. Please apply via the Childcare Choices website to confirm your eligibility.
At Edenhurst, from January 2025, this will only be offered to children who have older siblings in school, children who have registered for Reception or children who attend on a full time basis (5 days a week). This will also be stretched across 50 weeks and will be reflected on your invoice as 22.8 hours a week. To receive the full 22.8 hours, children must attend 3 days a week.
Children who do not meet the above criteria will still receive the current Universal Free Entitlement.
Tax-Free Childcare
Parents can use Tax-Free Childcare alongside the 15 and 30 hours free childcare schemes in England. This scheme allows parents to pay money into an online account. For every £8 paid in by parents the government will contribute £2. The arrangement is open to the self-employed. The scheme is paid for by parents from post-tax and employee NI contributions; there are certain conditions in terms of employment and income that parents must meet in order to pay into the scheme.

We accept childcare vouchers from Edenred, Computershare, Sodexho, Imagine, Fideliti and Care 4. Please enquire at the Office if you wish to pay by vouchers other than these and we will hopefully be able to accommodate your request.
