Funding and Payment Options for Explorers Nursery
At Explorers Nursery, we are pleased to accept payments through both the Government Tax-Free Childcare Scheme and Childcare Vouchers. Tax-Free Childcare Scheme This government-backed initiative allows eligible working families to receive up to £2,000 per child, per year (or £4,000 for disabled children) to support childcare costs. Parents can set up an account, pay into it, and the government will contribute an additional 20%. To check if you are eligible, visit here. Government Funding From January 2026, we will be offering the government's working parent entitlement funding for eligible children aged 9 months to 3 years. Eligible families will be able to access 30 hours of funded childcare per week, for 38 weeks of the year. We understand that many families require childcare throughout the year, not just during term time. That's why we offer flexible funding options, including term-time only or stretched funding across the full year. Please contact our Admissions Team if you have any questions. Childcare Vouchers We accept Childcare Vouchers as a payment method for eligible families. Childcare Vouchers are available to existing users who joined the scheme before it closed to new entrants on the 4th October 2018. If you're already enrolled and your employer still offers the scheme, you can continue to benefit. As an Ofsted-registered provider, Explorers Nursery accepts most major voucher schemes, including Computershare, Kiddivouchers, Edenred, etc.
