Wraparound Care

We introduced an early drop off from 8.50 and a late pick up at 3pm back in September 2023 based on parental request. These hours are outside of our funded offer and prices from September 2025 will be  £5.50 per child per early/late session and are invoiced half termly in advance.

Fees
The fees for playschool are currently £8.50 per hour from September 2025 with a review in January 2026.

Fees are payable each half term in advance. They continue to be payable if your child is absent, ie. illness or holidays. In cases of prolonged absence, parents should consult the Playschool Manager.

Government Funding
We are registered to receive Free Early Education funding which pays for the sessions an eligible child attends at our playschool. Funding commences in the term after your child turns 3, and is available for all children. This is for a maximum of 15 hours per week, up to 38 weeks per year. We also accept FEET funding (Free Early Education for two years olds who are eligible), and the newly introduced 30 hours entitlement for eligible working families for children from 9 months old (however children must be 2 years old to attend our setting). Your funding can be split between settings if required. (We are open at least 36 weeks per year – the remainder of your entitlement can not be used elsewhere).

Fundraising
As a non-profit charity we aim to offer affordable childcare for families in the local community; we keep our fees as low as possible and do not charge top-up fees.  Given the under-funding which our sector is currently experiencing, we have to rely on fundraising to enable us to buy new toys, craft resources and other equipment when required.  Our main fundraising events are the Christmas party and raffle and Sports Day which takes place at the end of the summer term.  We also ask parents for an annual voluntary fundraising donation which means we can then keep other fundraising events to a minimum.
