Below are some handy tips to help out with your childcare fees:
The Funded Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) is a government initiative which funds early years education for children aged 3 and 4 years for up to 15 or 30 hours per week during term time only.
Some 2 year olds are eligible for funding, up to 15 hours per week during term time only. Shanklin Day Nursery offers free 2, 3 and 4 year old FEEE funded places to parents (subject to availability).

* Shanklin Day Nursery has as Early Years Professional (EYP) and a Teacher working at the Nursery meaning parents at this setting receive more FEEE (government) funding for their child.
If your employer operates a childcare voucher scheme, you can save National Insurance and Income Tax. We accept childcare vouchers such as such as Edenred, Care4, Sodexo and Computershare
*Shanklin Day Nursery accepts all childcare vouchers*
If you're a working parent with children under 12 (or under 17 for disabled children), you can open an online account to pay for registered childcare. The government will top-up the money you pay into the account. For every £8 you pay in, the government will add an extra £2. You can receive up to £2,000 per child, or £4,000 if disabled.

If you, and any partner, are working, or you’re due to start work, and you’re claiming Universal Credit, you can claim back up to 85% of your eligible childcare costs for children under 16. You could get up to £646 a month for one child, or £1,108 for two or more.
Universal Credit is being phased in over the next few years. It will replace a number of existing benefits, including tax credits. Whether you can claim will depend on where you live and your personal circumstances.
