Minimum 2 full days including Monday or Friday.
We require a £75 non-refundable administration fee. A deposit of £250, which is refunded from your final invoice once the requisite notice period is given.
Invoices will reflect funded hours allocated as per the booking pattern. The Government funding is structured for 38 weeks of the year (term time), our places are for 50 weeks of the year, and so the funded hours are stretched over the 50 weeks that we are open. This applies to the 30-hour funding.
Tax-free childcare is a method of paying childcare costs (including your nursery invoice) which provides a significant saving each month. It can be used alongside both 15 and 30 hours of funding. The eligibility criteria closely follow that of 30 hours of funding. However, unlike 30-hour funding, it is available to all nursery-age children.

Academic Year: September 2025 – August 2026
Little Haven Childcare is open for 50 weeks of the year, and our fees are calculated on this basis.
We offer Islington-funded early education hours on a stretched model across 50 weeks, allowing families to spread their funded entitlement evenly and benefit from consistent monthly payments throughout the year.
A limited number of term-time-only funded places (38 weeks) may be available, subject to availability and local authority guidance.
Monthly fees are payable all year round and include bank holidays, inset days, and Little Haven closure days (12 days per year). Fees remain payable during these periods, as staffing and essential operational costs continue even when the nursery is closed.
Funded hours are applied in line with Islington Council funding rules, and any hours attended above the funded entitlement, or additional services provided, will be charged accordingly.
While we strive to ensure continuity of your child’s fully funded place during room transitions, it may not always be possible to maintain the same funded place allocation as originally agreed.
