As a non-profit making voluntary organisation: My Favourite Nursery aim to continually offer competitive and affordable fees.
A non-refundable Registration Fee of £30.00 is required to add your child to our Waiting List and this should be paid by bank transfer when returning the completed Pre-Registration Pack. On joining My Favourite Nursery, one month’s deposit will be requested to secure your child’s place. (This deposit will be refunded when you terminate the contract with one calendar month’s written notice. This deposit is returned to you when your child leaves the Nursery providing all fees are up-to-date and notice is given in writing).
Free Early Education Entitlement Funding
MFN works in partnership with Southwark Council to provide Funding for children aged nine months plus up to school age.
Eligible working parents are able to access 30 hours of government-funded childcare for a child from nine months old up to five years of age. In order to receive the Working Parent Entitlement for 30hr Funding, parents will have to apply direct through the Government Childcare Service website. To apply and obtain your eligibility code, please visit https://childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk/par/app/applynow. On this website parents are also able to sign up for Tax-Free Childcare. Application for the Tax-Free Childcare and/or FEEE Funding takes place in one single application where the Government will automatically check your eligibility for both. Before you commence your application, you will need to make sure you have the following information (for you and your partner, if you have one):
- your National Insurance Number
- if you’re self-employed, your Unique Taxpayer Reference
- the date you started, or are due to start work
- details of any other government support you get.
All 3-4 year old children are entitled to the universal 15hr funding, and MFN will automatically enrol children onto this 15hr Funding scheme by providing Southwark Council with the child’s name, date of birth and home address. (Please note, eligibility for enrolment takes place during the term after the child’s third birthday).
Parents can start using the entitlements the term after applying, providing their child is in regular attendance before the term census date.
During the academic year 2026/2027 application submission and allocation of the FEEE Funding will be as follows:
The Funding Payment Table below lists the fee amounts payable by parents throughout the nine funded months of the year:
Tax Free Childcare
Did you know you can get up to £500 every 3 months (£2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare? If you get Tax-Free Childcare, the government will pay £2 for every £8 you pay your childcare provider via an online account. You can use it to pay for approved childcare, and you can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as the 30hr Funding if you’re eligible for both. MFN is signed up to the Tax Free Childcare, so why not go on line now, and check your eligibility at: https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare
