Sessions
Monday to Friday, 9.15am—12.15pm during term time.
Admissions
The places in each session for 2½ year olds are allocated on a date of birth basis. Priority will be given to siblings. It is our policy that children should attend a minimum of two sessions per week.
The Pre-School is registered for up to 24 children.
Fees
A £15 registration fee is payable with your application which will entitle you to a school hat and bag when your child starts. Children receive the Nursery Education Grant (NEG) from the term after their 3rd birthday. You can claim up to five 2.5 hour sessions FREE per week provided you are not claiming all five sessions elsewhere. We charge just £1.00 for the additional 30 minutes we are open. Prior to receiving the NEG our fees are £8.00 per session. Fees are payable in advance to assure the child’s place for the half-term and are not redeemable in the event of any absences. There is a 10% discount for a second child when you have two fee-paying children at Pre-School. A full half-term's notice is required in advance on leaving Pre-School or fees will be incurred.
Nursery Grant Funding
Nursery grant funding is automatically available to any child in the term after their 3rd birthday. For that term and each term after, parents need to sign a declaration form which states for how many sessions per week the grants are being claimed. The treasurer then claims the nursery grant on your behalf. The nursery grant is a fixed amount per term pro rata the number of sessions attended.
