Pricing and Funding
All funded hours are subject to a £1.20 an hour charge, which includes snacks, meals, and a 50% reduction in fees for holidays (booked with at least 8 weeks’ notice). This cost helps us provide the high-quality care and education we strive to deliver. It also helps fund items such as sun cream, snacks, meals, special days, and events.
All three nurseries are open for 51 weeks of the year closing only for Bank holidays and approximately a week over the Christmas and New Year period. All children need to attend either a morning or afternoon session. Additional sessions are subject to availability. We maybe able to offer extended hours so please ask.
Meals are not compulsory and parents are more than welcome to provide their own cold packed lunch/tea (with an ice pack). Sealed baby jars and milk can be heated on the premises.
BREAKFAST AND AFTER SCHOOL CLUB
The breakfast club starts at 7.45 am until the start of school and the after school club starts at 3.30pm until 6pm. Both clubs are available for children attending reception through to year six. Breakfast club is £4.95 per session and after school is £9.99. Find more information here.
