Consumables Charge
At Whitstabubbles, we ask for a voluntary consumables contribution of 20p per funded hour. This contribution helps us provide children with everyday essentials, additional resources and special experiences during their time with us, including:
This contribution is entirely voluntary, and parents are welcome to opt out if they wish.
If parents choose not to pay the consumables charge, we kindly ask that they provide the everyday items listed above for their child. Where additional activities or celebrations involve optional costs, we will discuss alternative arrangements with parents in advance.
Choosing not to pay the voluntary consumables charge will not affect your child's entitlement to funded childcare hours or their access to their funded place.
We understand that families may not always use all of their booked funded hours.
