Enhances Resource Fee.

The Government early years funding scheme makes childcare accessible for all 3 & 4 year olds which we think is fantastic, however the funding amount allocated to settings by the Government is an all-encompassing rate and does not recognise private nurseries that endeavour to provide an even more quality service that naturally incur more costs. Therefore, our enhanced resource fee is in place to allow parents to contribute to all the special services provided at Sunny Days that go over and above the ‘basic provision’ as set out by the Governments ‘early years entitlements: operational guidance’. We reflect this by stating the ERF covers meals, trips, extra-curricular activities, extra art resources.

*ERF does not apply to Parkstone Nursery.
