FUNDING

Over the Rainbow offers both funded and private sessions to its customers. This allows flexible and more affordable childcare costs for families. You may be able to get free childcare for your child aged 9 months to 4 years, depending on your circumstances.  If you claim certain benefits, you may be eligible for free education and childcare for 2-year-olds under a separate scheme. To check eligibility, pleases follow the links provided:-

Check you’re eligible for free childcare if you’re working – GOV.UK

Help paying for childcare: Free education and childcare for 2-year-olds if you claim certain benefits – GOV.UK

As we are a private day nursery, we are only able to offer a limited number of funded only sessions and due to high demand, we recommend that parents book their free funded entitlement sessions well in advance of commencement of childcare to avoid disappointment.

TAX FREE CHILDCARE

We happily accept payments via the government Tax Free Childcare Scheme. This is a government led scheme where for every £8.00 you pay into your account, the government will pay in £2.00 for you to use to pay to your provider. You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 15 or 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both. To create an account you can follow the link provided:-

CHILDCARE VOUCHERS

Whilst most childcare voucher schemes are closed to new applicants, we do accept child care vouchers from our current providers.

SALARY SACRIFICE SCHEMES

In some circumstances, it may be possible for your employer to pay your childcare costs from your gross salary before Tax and National Insurance payments are deducted. This can save a significant amount of money in terms of childcare costs. It may be worthwhile enquiring with your employer if they support a salary sacrifice scheme.
