Fee structure
LEYF's social enterprise model means we can offer both fee-paying and Government-funded places.
What you need to know
If you’re on a low income or currently unemployed, you may be eligible for Universal Credit. Universal Credit is a simpler, monthly payment that replaces and merges together other benefits such as Jobseeker’s Allowance, Housing Benefit, Employment and Support Allowance, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Income Support.
Universal Credit recipients may be eligible to claim back up to 85% of their childcare costs. You or your partner (if you live together) will be working or have a valid job offer to be able to claim this benefit.
If you are eligible for Universal Credit
You could claim up to:
- £646 for one child
- £1,108 for 2 or more children
Learn more about the process on the Government website.
