Funding Options

Woodhams Farm Day Nursery will accept any of the childcare voucher schemes that are running, so if your employer operates such a benefit, you can save Tax and National Insurance. If you choose to have some of your salary paid as either paper or electronic childcare vouchers (up to £55 per week or £243 a month), you don't pay tax or NICs on that amount. So your remaining wages are greater after paying for your childcare with vouchers than if you had paid in cash.

We offer a 5% discount on the older sibling when two children attend, or 5% discount on one twin sibling.

By visiting www.taxcredits.inlandrevenue.gov.uk you will be able to establish if you can claim child tax credits, or call the helpline on 0845 300 3900

We are approved for the 2 Year old early Years Education Scheme. Eligible 2 year old children can receive a grant for a maximum 570 hours per year. To check whether your family is eligible, check the Hampshire website

The Early Years Education (EYE) is a government grant for all 3 and 4 year olds to access early education before they start school. The government grant is currently for a maximum of 570 hours per year, starting from the term after a child’s 3rd birthday. This offer can be taken by 15 hours a week for 38 weeks ( term time) or this offer can be ‘stretched’ over the 50 weeks we are open to just over 11 hours per week. Towards the end of each term, we will provide parents with the necessary forms to complete enabling us to raise a claim for your child.

Woodhams Farm Day Nursery is open 50 weeks per year - we close between Christmas and New year in accordance with the Hampshire Schools Term dates.
