Our 3-5 years section focuses on your child's pre-school years. We've produced printable activities based around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which will help your child's development in language, creativity, problem solving and understanding of the world.
Now your child has reached the age of three, with the ‘terrible twos’ hopefully a thing of the past, the financial game changes a little. You can strike nappies and baby formula off your shopping list, unless of course your little angel has been joined by a younger sibling, but you will probably be spending more on shoes and items like bikes and scooters. Now is also a good time to revisit your longer-term financial plans, or put some in place if you haven’t already.
F&C has produced some articles relevant to our 3-5 years section, giving information on Nursery Costs, Switching Your Child Trust Fund and Other Savings.

Schools and nurseries should register here. As a parent you can receive a quote, purchase a policy and nominate your school or nursery to receive free sports equipment here.

In 2006 the government launched a dental referral scheme, with the aim of getting more children seen by a dentist. At present 30.4% of children are NOT seen on a regular basis by a dentist. 33% have missing teeth or fillings by the age of 5. Child Health Solutions gives your child up to £300* of dental cover in every policy year, in addition it will also provide accidental dental cover (up to £600 per policy year) should your child accidentally injure their teeth. View the Childsure website for more information. * Subject to an excess of £50 (only applies to routine dental cover)
