Funding Scenario 3
This setting is open for term time only.
Child C, let's call her Charlie, uses 30 hours funding and attends for 45 hours a week (9 hours a day across 5 days a week).
Autumn Term
Setting open: 15 weeks
Funded weeks: 15 weeks
Bill for Parents
15 additional hours x 15 weeks = 225 hours
Plus any additional charges for consumables fees
Spring Term
Setting open: 11 weeks
Funded weeks: 11 weeks
Bill for Parents
15 additional hours x 11 weeks = 165 hours
Plus any additional charges for consumables fees
Summer Term
Setting open: 12 weeks
Funded weeks: 12 weeks
Bill for Parents
15 additional hours x 12 weeks = 180 hours
Plus any additional charges for consumables fees
As can be seen, there is a significant difference between the bills for each term that Charlie's parents need to work into their budgets!
A childcare provider may be willing to split the additional hours and any consumables fees equally across the whole academic year to make payments more manageable, but this is dependent upon their individual policies!
