OUR SESSIONS

​

Mondays and Wednesdays are our Preschool sessions, run exclusively for children who will turn 4 this academic year. These sessions are slightly more structured and we aim to further expand the confidence, independence and interest in learning which will facilitate an easy transition to school. On Wednesdays Preschooler's enjoy our Welly Walk where we explore the surrounding area.

 

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are our ‘mixed sessions’ which are open to Rising 3's and Preschooler's.

​

Our sessions run term time only.

​

We offer up to 30 hours of Grant Funding.

​​

Invoiced hours are charged at £7.50 per hour for our Preschool group and £7.80 per hour for our Rising 3's group. This is subject to an increase each academic year.

​

Funded hours can be used for a maximum of 6 hours per day, between 9:30am and 3:30pm. Normal charges apply between 9:00am to 9:30am. Parents who wish to use funded hours only should contact the Preschool Manager for further details about this. Please note that if you change your schedule to funded only and start the day at 9:30am, there will be no option to drop off earlier on an ad hoc basis.

​

In addition a voluntary contribution is added to the monthly invoice sent to parents/carers. This is used to cover additional and extra curricula activities, snacks and consumables provided at Preschool above what is ordinarily available.

​

The voluntary contribution is currently calculated on the following basis:

£12 x (Number of booked days per week) = (amount of monthly voluntary contribution)

For example, a child attends 4 days per week, 4 x £12 = £48, the voluntary contribution amount that will be added to the monthly invoice is £48. This is also subject to an increase each academic year.  

​

Every child who attends the Preschool will have access to all activities or experiences available where sustainable, however, if a substantial number of parents choose not to pay then the wide range of activities on offer may be withdrawn. Parents who opt out of the voluntary contribution or wish to access a funded only place under the ‘Early Years Free Entitlement’ will be asked to provide the consumables this payment covers for their child. Please speak to the Preschool Manager for further details
