*Stretched funding for Extended Day Wrap Around Places – How it works
Billy receives 30-hour working entitlement funding. This is a total of 30 hours per week for 38 weeks per year. Billy’s parents need whole day sessions, all year round, for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, while they are both at work.
24 hours of the 30 hours funding is used each of the 38 weeks across the term time. Billy’s parents pay for the extended day top-up each month, and the rest of the funding can be stretched to cover hours in the holiday weeks. This helps keep monthly costs consistent all year round, rather than having high fees in the holidays.
3. Term Time, School Day Session Price For Families Not in Receipt of Funding
School day sessions – 9am – 3pm daily
Session price £43.50 with packed lunch OR £46 with hot meal
