Parent Information

Session Info

As a community pre-school we pride ourselves on being able to offer fully flexible places, we offer the free entitlement of government funded hours without any extra charges or limitations on how/when you can access these free hours (subject to availability). All children are eligible for up to 15 hours of funded care per week from the term after their third birthday. We also welcome children from 2 years as fee payers or if you are entitled to working parents funding and deprivation funding.

We recommend sessions appropriate for the child’s age and development (further details below) and have a high staff to child ratio ensuring we give the highest level of care and attention to our children.

We ask that each child does a minimum of 2 mornings a week, any less and we find that children may find it difficult to settle in.

Snacks and Lunch

We provide a mid-morning snack which the children eat together. We encourage independence and self-service, sharing and pouring milk or water for themselves. We do ask for donations from parents for snack, items such as fruit, crackers, breadsticks and crumpets etc. Please tell us about your child’s allergies or dietary needs and we will plan accordingly.

The session also includes lunch which we feel is an excellent opportunity for the children to socialise with their friends and prepare for going to school. Each child must bring their own packed lunch.

Voluntary Parental contributions

Parental contributions are gratefully received as these donations along with our other fundraising is vital in enabling us to offer the funded hours without limiting or charging extra.

We ask for donations from all the parents of a one-off payment of £50 per year. This is issued around October.
