15 hours funded childcare for all 3 and 4-year-olds

TAX FREE CHILDCARE
We are also registered to accept tax free childcare and childcare vouchers.
Tax-Free Childcare is a UK government initiative designed to help working parents with the cost of childcare.
For every 80p you (or someone else) pays in, the government will top up an extra 20p. This is equivalent of the tax most people pay - 20% - which is how the scheme got its name.

THE EXPANDED OFFER
From April 2024, eligible working parents of 2-year-olds can access 15 hours childcare support. By September 2025, most working families with children aged between 9 months and 5 years old will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support.
The changes are being introduced gradually to make sure that providers can meet the needs of more families. This means that:
From September 2024
15 hours childcare support will be extended to eligible working parents of children from the age of 9 months to 3-year-olds.
From September 2025
Eligible working parents of children from 9 months to school age will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare a week.
Like the existing offer, depending on your provider, these hours can be used over 38 weeks of the year (during school term time), or up to 52 weeks if you use fewer than your total hours per week.

CURRICULUM
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework is a valuable tool that provides a set of standards and guidelines for early years education in the United Kingdom.
At our nursery, we recognise the importance of the EYFS framework and ensure that our students receive a high-quality education that meets their needs and helps them to develop and progress in a holistic way.
In addition to the EYFS, we apply our own exciting and engaging curriculum and incorporate our own unique approaches and methodologies. This allows us to tailor our curriculum to the specific needs and interests of our students. We believe this keeps our teaching practices fresh and innovative.
At Clever Munchkins, we thrive to foster curiosity, promote effective communication, create an enabling environment and build a strong relationships with the children.
Our goal is to bring the curriculum to life by incorporating real-life experiences, visits, and resources into our teaching approach.
TAPESTRY
We keep our parents informed via online journals as a way of building a strong connection between nursery and home.
Tapestry is an online journal to help record all the learning and fun of children's early years education
We use tapestry to send invoices, memos of daily activities and direct messaging to parents. Log in details will be provided once your child starts at nursery. Using the reports and journal information, every child’s learning is tracked by the SENCo and any areas of concern are raised with parents
