Early Years Funding Additional Information and Charges
At Little Stars we strive to be open and honest with families about the cost of childcare and what you are paying for.
Currently there is a significant gap in what the government pays towards childcare and our fees.
It is essential that we highlight that families can access the Early Years Entitlement for free, therefore, the following charges are voluntary. To keep costs as affordable as possible, we have partially subsidised these expenses. While still maintaining our high standard of care and consistently going above and beyond our offering of opportunities for the children’s learning and development. We ensure all children participate in a variety of extra-curricular and enrichment activities.
