1. JOINING PRE-SCHOOL
|
To contact Pre-School directly, please call: 07728236413 We are currently full for academic year 2024-25, therefore are not able to offer any more sessions. We also have a long waiting list, so a place is unlikely to become available. We are taking details for spaces for academic year 2025-26. You are able to visit the preschool to have a look at our learning environment and meet our team, please call us to arrange a viewing. Applying for a place at Pre-School As soon as your child becomes 3 and if we have a space, your child can begin in our pre-school. As long as places are available, children may start at any point of the year, but it is more likely a place will be secured by getting on the waiting list as early as possible. We are not able to hold a space open for children starting mid-year. You can also apply for a space in advance, for example, the academic year 2025-26. Term Time Opening Hours We are currently open Monday to Friday 7.45am to 6pm. Options currently exist for a school day 8.45am - 3.15pm Morning session 8.45am - 11.45am Afternoon session 1.00 - 4.00pm Wrap around care from 7.45 - 8.45 and 3.15 - 6.00pm Options currently exist for term-time only with the option of a holiday camp during most holidays. (See separate tab)What is included?Sessional fees do not include food, this is an additional charge. If a child arrives before 08.20am, they are part of our breakfast club and can have breakfast. This will be charged at £1 a day. All morning sessions and full day sessions include a morning snack. A hot lunch incurs an additional charge of £2.35 a day. All afternoon or full day sessions beyond 3.15pm include an evening snack, which is charged at £2 a day. Breakfast - choice of healthy cereals or toast (wholemeal or high grain white) with different spreads. This is served between 7.45am and 8.20am.

Afternoon snack - A light tea with milk or water (served between 3.30 and 4pm). Water is available throughout the day. There is no need for your child to bring a water bottle as we encourage the children to pour their own drinks to develop their independence. There will be no further fees for resources used by pupils, and we will only ask for additional money to support trips or outings. Please see the pre-school booklet for further information. |
