​Fees are invoiced at the start of each month and are payable immediately.

Payment by bank transfer is preferred, but we also accept most childcare vouchers, cheque and cash.

Fees levels are reviewed at least annually to ensure First Steps' financial viability.

For detailed fee procedures, please see the attached.

Surcharges may be payable for late payment of fees.

​

*Optional. If you inform us in advance that you do not wish your child to be given snacks by us, you will not be invoiced for this.

 

Funding
 
All children are eligible to receive Free Early Educational Entitlement (FEEE) funding from the term after their 3rd  birthday. Some children may be eligible for an additional 15 hours funding. Some children will also be eligible for funding from the term starting after their second birthday. Please see our prospectus for more information, or the Leicestershire County Council website.
 
Once you inform us of your intention to use your child's funding at First Steps we can do the necessary paperwork to ensure this is claimed as quickly as possible. 
 
PLEASE CONFIRM ANY FUNDED HOURS REQUESTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOU.
