At Twinkle Tots we believe in making funding work for you!<\/p>

Here for you every step of the way<\/h2><\/div>

You’ll receive a letter at the start of every term detailing the following: –

Funding type
The number of funded hours allocated in the term
Your childcare plan
Which childcare is covered by funding
Any Additional childcare that you may have requested
Type of Plan – Term time or Stretched funding
The number of weeks and all dates that your funding covers you for. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your Invoice <\/h2><\/div>

We invoice every 4 weeks and provide parents and carers with completely transparent invoices which show the following: –

Your allocation of funded hours in the period
The equivalent childcare cost that you are saving
All additional childcare costs for any additional sessions with each different session type as a separate line.
As every child is unique we ask parents to provide nappies, creams and wipes so there’s no added childcare costs.
Twinkle Tots does offer a nutritious breakfast, hot lunch, high tea, fruit and drinks at a subsidised price on funding days, and all food is prepared
on site in our very own kitchen. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
