Fees, Funding & Booking
Each year we review our fees to ensure we are able to provide the best possible service and the highest standard of care for your children, while also being as affordable as possible.
As a not-for-profit registered charity, all of our income is retained by Funfishers to ensure we can continually improve the facilities, provide up to date training and development for the staff, and pay our staff the Real Living Wage.

Funding
We offer funded places for children aged 9 months to 4 years through the City of York Council 2-year-old funding, 3 to 4-year-old government funding, and now including the new 30 hour roll out in 2024 for children aged 9 months upwards.
Booking places at Funfishers
We offer parents a flexible half termly booking service, and use a secure app called Famly for our registration, booking, invoicing, and communication with families.
A Pre-Registration form and User Agreement must be completed before you and your child can be added to Famly. You will also be asked to complete a term-time booking plan which can be added to Famly once your places have been confirmed. A weekly booking form can also be provided if you require adhoc sessions.
Once a booking plan is completed and approved the places will roll forward term-time only onto the next half-term unless management is informed that you wish for places to be changed or stopped. This can only be done at the end of each half-term. Plans can be adapted by filling out a new booking plan which can commence from the next half-term. Holiday Club is booked on a first come first served basis.
