Funded Childcare Explained
Our Premium Package
What's included in our Premium Package
Our Premium Package
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in England sets the basic statutory framework for early childhood education and is what government-funded childcare covers.
Sadly, this alone is not enough to fully prepare children for school or life beyond. That’s why First Friends goes beyond the minimum EYFS requirements.
We provide a Premium Package.
Additional Charges
What's included in our Premium Package
Our Premium Package
Government funded children are asked to pay £1.20 per hour for our Premium Package.
This additional charge helps us continue providing these valuable experiences, and our families choose to contribute because they see the benefits for their child.
