Free Settling In
Buttons offers parents free settling in sessions. These introductory sessions are designed to introduce your child to the nursery gradually and give you the opportunity to discuss your child's individual needs with the nursery.Childcare Vouchers
We accept most childcare vouchers. If your employer operates a childcare voucher scheme you can save Income Tax and National Insurance. Currently you can claim a maximum of £243.00 per month through this scheme. This amount is deducted from your gross salary by your employer before Income Tax and National Insurance is deducted and used to provide childcare vouchers for the same amount.Nursery Education Grant
This government grant is available to all children aged 3 and 4 years old. The nursery will apply for this funding on your behalf at the appropriate time.Corporate Rates
Buttons offers reduced rates to employees of many organisations including the NHS and the Rugby Football Union. If your employer participates in our corporate discount scheme please provide proof of employment when you register your child.Referral Reward
