Charges for UNFUNDED sessions from 17th April 2023 are:

Please note that in order for us to allocate places, we ask for at least half a term’s notice of your child leaving pre-school. If you do not provide this notice, you will be liable to pay for that half term in full.
We also provide all children with a healthy snack during their session with us, for this we charge a £10 fee every term.
