Funded childcare
There are lots of government funding options to help parents with childcare costs. Although this does not mean that your childcare costs will be free, it does mean that your childcare costs could be much less than you expected. Several separate government-funded childcare schemes are available to parents with children aged 9 months to 4 years of age.
Private nursery fees
Private nursery fees are a significant part of household expenditure and we understand that you need to plan, budget and fully understand the charges associated with nursery fees, both private and funded.
The Merry Kidz Nursery private nursery fee schedules clearly lay out the nursery fees for different ages, the times that the nursery is open from and to, any discounts such as nursery fee discounts for Siblings, and what is included in your private nursery fees.
Many families are eligible for funding from the government towards their child’s fees from 9 months of age.
