We accept the 15 hours universal and 30 hours extended FEE funding alongside 2 year old FEET funding.

Our Approach
At Greenways we support the Curiosity Approach and we believe instead of directing children, the curiosity approach is based on child-led learning. Children make their own choices, and work things out for themselves which leads to enhanced confidence, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.
Our approach draws ideas from other philosophies of early education including Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Pikler, and Steiner. It aims to create children who are ‘thinkers and doers’ instead of passive learners who simply follow the direction of an adult.
By creating active learners, we find the children are more engaged in their environment and have a lot more fun. They are in charge of their own development and choose activities which play to their own interests.
Sessions are available all year round for children aged 2.5 - 5 years. We accept FEET funded children and Universal funded hours which are offered for 3 years upwards. We are pleased to offer a variety of sessions to children eligible for any funding, subject to availability.
You can usually get Tax-Free Childcare if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:
• in work
• on sick leave or annual leave
• on shared parental, maternity, paternity or adoption leave
You’ll need to expect to earn a certain amount over the next 3 months. This is at least the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week on average. If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll set up an online childcare account for your child.
For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider. You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both. Find out if you are able to claim here.
