SESSIONS AND FEES

OPENING TIMES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

The preschool runs in line with the school year, which means that we break for the usual school holidays. The term dates are updated on our website each academic year and are listed at the bottom of this page.

We are registered with Ofsted to take up to 30 children per session between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Free milk and water are provided during the sessions. We ask families to provide a healthy snack and lunch for their children.

Breakfast Club – 7.30am to 9.00am

Morning Session – 9.00am to 12.00pm

Afternoon Session – 12.00pm to 3.00pm or 3.15pm

The fee is £5.80 per hour

Payment

You will be invoiced each month in advance, and payment is requested within two weeks of issue of the invoice.  At least four weeks’ notice is required when a child leaves preschool.

Nursery Education Grant Funding for 2, 3 & 4 years olds

Funded places are available for 2, 3 and 4 year olds so long as families meet the criteria. The funded hours are either a total of 15 or 30 hours a week and can be split between multiple providers if needed.

We are proud to say that we do not charge any consumable fees.

Further information is available from Preschool.

We operate a waiting list when appropriate for new children and for children wanting to take up additional places. Vacant places are awarded to children in the following order.

2. Funded children of active committee members
3. Other funded children
