Charges

Charges

Government Funded Hours are available for eligible parents from 9 months old to 4 years old.

We offer children from eligible families a funded place, depending on their entitlement, from 15 – 30 hours per week.

If a parent chooses only to use this entitlement there is no additional costs

Unlike other local nurseries Dinotots do not charge a separate consumables fee.

If a parent wishes to add additional hours or days to their entitlement then charges will be added to their account, as follows:

Transparency at the Heart of Our Care

At Dinotots, we believe choosing high-quality childcare should feel simple and reassuring. Our approach is designed to be clear, transparent, and all-inclusive, so families always know exactly what to expect.

We aim to remove the stress around funding by clearly outlining what’s included, helping to avoid any unexpected costs along the way.
