At Millbridge, A SHARE Primary Academy, we are committed to providing high-quality early years education and childcare that is accessible and inclusive for all families.

Children accessing funded childcare places are entitled to receive their funded hours free of charge. Parents and carers will never be required to pay a fee, top-up charge, or purchase additional services as a condition of accessing their child's funded entitlement.

In accordance with the Kirklees Provider Agreement, we publish details of our funded offer, the pattern of funded hours available, and any optional chargeable extras that parents may choose to purchase. All chargeable extras are entirely voluntary, and where applicable, reasonable alternatives are available.

The information below outlines our funded sessions and any additional services that may incur a charge.
