Fees & Funding
Government funding
At Jack and Jill’s, we offer a Term Time only option with a minimum commitment of 30 hours per week. Alternatively, for parents without funding, we require a minimum of 20 hours per week, including either a Monday or Friday.
Fees at Jack and Jill’s are calculated based on the 50 weeks of the year we are open, divided into 12 equal monthly payments for convenience.
