Assisted Places
Our objectives as an organisation are to provide quality and affordable childcare for children from 6 weeks to 16 years and in particular to support lone parents and those on low income. We achieve this both with the provision of nursery care and the work on establishing and supporting Out of School Clubs.
A number of assisted places are available at each nursery. As a policy we do not seek to ‘means-test’ the users of the nurseries. Consequently we offer ‘assisted places’ to parents who are in receipt of certain State Benefits or are perhaps experiencing some kind of crisis. As State Benefits change we review and update our lists to ensure that as wide a group as possible are entitled to assistance.
