Fluffy Fundraisers
Fluffy Fundraisers is a Charity Group supporting Little Rainbows. We are a group of parents who meet four times a year to plan fun activities for the local community, activities include Easter Egg Hunt, Adults Quiz Nights, Fetes and Picnics.
We are a registered charity and therefore have a dedicated committee who manage the groups finances.
If you would like more information on our activities or would like to support this group please contact Jill Smalley on 01455 558241
Newsletters
Once a term we produce a newsletter for parents which includes what is happening in the coming term, important dates, local/community information together with relevant information for funding/fees.
Funded Childcare Offer
Our current Funded Childcare Offer and charges
All funding is deducted from your invoice per term and any remaining fees are calculated over your contract and charged monthly.
Working family-funded childcare
This scheme is for qualifying working parents. The funded hours are provided across 38 weeks during term time and, if you’re living with your partner, you’ll need to apply together.
Parents:
- Should be working at least 16 hours a week
- Can be on sick leave or parental leave
- Must each earn less than £100,000 a year
- Might still be eligible while claiming benefits.
Check the government website: if you’re struggling to make sense of eligibility or want to find out about government schemes and incentives, visit gov.uk and follow the relevant links.
We can offer your child more than their funded hours per week, if you need them. These additional hours are paid for and are referred to as non-funded hours.
There are some other specific things that can affect your eligibility, like your immigration status, where your child lives, and your child’s exact age. You can read more about this on the government website: childcarechoices.gov.uk
