Our Vision High Quality care for all children. A firm foundation for education


Our Ethos Our ethos is to provide a safe, caring environment that encourages a love of learning in a fun and playful way, and celebrates each childs uniqueness helping them to develop to their full potential

Details of costs for using our pre school and how you can use your free entitlement hours when your child attends with us.

 

In line with latest National Guidance we are required to publish details of costs involved when parents use our service. These are as follows;


Children entitled to 15 or 30 hours funded Nursery education who attend for 15 or 30 hours a week will not incur any additional costs. If however a parent wants their child to attend any hours above their free entitlement the cost is £5 per hour. This will be detailed on a monthly invoice issued to parents on the last day of each month.

We DO NOT charge any additional fees for trips or consumables. We provide children with a snack every day and for this we ask parents to make a voluntary contribution of £20 per year.


We are open from 8am until 6pm Monday to Friday and we are flexible as to how parents can use their free entitlement within our opening hours. Some typical patterns of use are;

For children who are entitled to 15hours free Nursery education per week -

      Monday to Friday from 9am  - 12noon

      Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9am  - 2pm

      Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 8am - 1pm


This is not an exhaustive list of options and we are happy to discuss your individual requirements with you.
