Funding Tiny Minds Application

This application form will determine your eligibility for our Funding Tiny Minds Program, which allows you to receive discounts on services with us and our Professional Partners.


The program aims to make infant, toddler and pre-school childrens services more financially accessible for families who would otherwise struggle to afford them. We believe that all children deserve the same opportunities in life and want to remove as many barriers as possible.


If you are accepted into the program, you will be placed into:

  • Tier 1 - our standard discount tier

  • Tier 2 - our enhanced discount tier


The tier you are placed in will depend on your circumstances and the information you've provided us with. The exact discount you receive will vary depending on the service provider.


Please note we are currently only able to offer this program to residents of Gloucester and the surrounding areas. We are looking to expand the radius in the future, pending appropriate funding.
