Funding
We accept the funding for eligible 2,3 and 4 year olds.
In order to ensure that the preschool is sustainable we ask for a monthly voluntary payment based on the number of funded hours your child attends.
These funds will be used to invest back into the pre-school to provide healthy snacks, drinks, craft activities, firewood etc. It also enables us to work with lower ratios of children to adults and to employ quality, qualified staff.
Non funded hours are charged at £6.75 per hour from September 2022, increasing to £7.00 per hour from September 2023.
An invoice will be produced at the beginning of each month, clearly defining what fees are due (if any) and a separate entry for the voluntary payment. Please support us if you can.
Childcare voucher scheme
We are also registered with several childcare voucher companies. Please ask for details.
