Fees
As of 1st April 2025, the following rates apply for sessions attended that are not covered by Government funding. Children can attend the morning session, afternoon session or both (with a recommended minimum of two half-day sessions or one full day per week).
Morning Session: £18.00 (£6.00 ph)
Afternoon Session: £18.00 (£6.00 ph)
A voluntary £1.50 ‘Consumables Fee’ is charged per half day session attended, for those using Government funding to pay for the session. If parent fees are being used to pay for the session, the consumables fee is not charged. This fee covers our chargeable extras such as ‘Optional Services & Activities’ (this includes access to your child’s learning record on Tapestry and seasonal craft activities), and ‘Food Consumables’ (this includes the morning and afternoon snack we provide for children). Please see our Charging, Fees and Registration Policy for details on what happens if you choose to opt-out of paying the Consumables Fee,
A one-off registration fee of £50.00 is payable on joining. This is voluntary for those who are only using Government funding to pay for all of their child’s sessions – it is compulsory for those who pay us directly for some or all of the sessions. If you choose to opt out of paying the Registration Fee, a £75.00 Deposit will be charged instead to secure your child’s space – the Deposit will be refunded to you within 6 weeks of your child starting with us (it is non-refundable if your child does not subsequently start with us).
