Funded hours are always applied first. Any attendance above the funded entitlement is charged at our private rates.

Consumables are the everyday items, experiences, and services provided during the nursery day. This includes food and drink, nappies and hygiene items, learning resources, extra-curricular activities, recreational outings, and staffing costs required to maintain appropriate child-to-staff ratios.
Consumable charges only apply to funded hours. Parents may choose to opt out of consumables by providing their own nappies, wipes, nappy sacks, and meals. Any opt-out will be reflected in the monthly invoice. Parents must indicate their choice on the Provision Form provided at the time of enquiry.
Eilmar offers inclusive extra-curricular classes and experiences for all age groups. We believe these enrich children’s early years and support their overall development. Children benefit most when they can fully participate in all nursery activities and experiences, including extra-curricular sessions and outings. These opportunities help build confidence, social skills, independence, and a sense of belonging. Activities are carefully planned to be age-appropriate, engaging, and inclusive.
Funded hours are deducted first. Consumable charges apply only to the funded portion of attendance. All private hours automatically include consumables, outings, and activities.
Yes. Fees can be spread evenly over 12 months to support family budgeting.
