Our aim is to create the best starting point for your child’s education in a happy friendly environment.

Pre-School - Term time only. A Heathy packed lunch should be provided for your child. We provide a morning snack.

Children accepted from term after a child turns 9 months old to 4 years 11months. It is £36 per session. Wrap around at £8 per hour per child.

We offer the free funded places of 6 hours per day for the same age group every weekday at Pre-School. Funded and paid for places also available as wrap around.

Government funded childcare is available for eligible children aged 9 months up to school age. Working parents may be eligible for 30 hours of funded childcare and should apply via www.beststartinlife.gov.uk before the published deadlines. Eligibility codes must be renewed every 3 months to remain valid. 

All 3 and 4 year olds are eligible for 15 hours of funded childcare, regardless of family circumstance. Some 2 year olds may be eligible for 15 hours if in receipt of additional support. I can check eligibility for this 2 year old funding. 

We rely on the kindness and generosity of you our parents rather than charge any consumable charges. Parents are welcome to make a voluntary monetary donation to enable us to buy fresh fruit, snacks, cooking and baking goods, sand, compost etc. for which we would be very grateful. Or if you wish to provide any of these things throughout your child’s time with us, we would also be most grateful. This makes sure we have a rich, resourceful environment for your child’s time with us at a low cost to yourselves.
