We understand that paying for childcare is a major financial commitment – that’s why we work with you to ensure that you get the best value from our nurseries.
With discounts for siblings and full time places*, our pricing structure includes rates for both half day and full day sessions. Where applicable, we also offer reduced rates for NHS, South Wales Police and DVLA staff.
Childcare Offer Wales
Our Schoolhouse nursery’s are registered for The Childcare Offer for Wales. If eligible you could claim up to 30 hours of early education and childcare a week, for up to 48 weeks of the year for children between the ages of 3 and 4 years. This government-funded childcare scheme aims to lessen the burden of childcare costs, giving families a saving. Eligible children will be able to access the offer from the beginning of the term following their third birthday until the September following the fourth birthday.
Visit www.gov.wales/check-eligibility-childcare-offer to check if you’re eligible.
Flying Start Childcare Expansion
The Welsh Government is taking a phased approach to the Flying Start Childcare Expansion (FSCE) across Wales. If eligible you could receive free quality childcare for 2.5 hours per day, up to 12.5 hours per week, in line with school terms for children between the ages of 2 and 3 years.
You can apply for Flying Start Childcare using the following link swansea.gov.uk/earlyyears/eligibility.
Tax Free Childcare
If you are eligible to receive Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll set up an online childcare account. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your nursery fees. You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare.
Tax-Free Childcare can be used at the same time as 30 hours free childcare – if you’re eligible for both.
Visit www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare for further information.
Nursery Voucher Scheme
We accept vouchers from a number of providers but your employer must register with a Nursery Voucher Scheme.
