Clearer costs.
Fewer surprises.
Childcare costs can feel complicated when funded hours, additional attendance and everyday nursery costs are brought together.
Tamworth uses the Tiny Toez Staffordshire fee structure. This overview explains the main elements before you use the calculator below.
Eligible working families
Eligible working parents may receive up to 30 funded hours, subject to government rules.
All 3 & 4 year olds
All 3 and 4 year olds can access 15 funded hours under the universal entitlement.
Added for every £8
Eligible families can receive a government top-up towards approved childcare costs.
Making funded hours work around your pattern.
Funded entitlement can reduce the number of childcare hours that need to be paid for.
- 15 or 30 funded-hour entitlements may apply
- Funding can be combined with additional paid hours
- The nursery can explain how funding is applied to your attendance pattern
These are the estimated meals, activities and consumables amounts used by the Tamworth calculator.
These are estimated additional nursery costs, not the total price of a full or half day.More chargeable hours can mean a lower hourly rate.
The Staffordshire fee structure uses sliding hourly bands for childcare remaining after applicable funding is deducted.
Additional childcare hourly rates.
These are the bands used by the Tamworth estimator below.
Government entitlements are normally quoted over 38 weeks. Where a stretched arrangement is available, fewer funded hours can be used each week across more weeks of the year. The estimator below uses the existing Tiny Toez stretched-hours assumptions when 15 or 30 funded hours are selected.
