Admissions
We accept children from the age of 2, both paid or funded (for more information: www.beststartinlife.gov.uk) and you may continue your child's education with us until they leave to attend Primary School. Places are allocated by date of birth and subject to availability - Spaces are currently available.
Once your child becomes eligible for their Early Years Entitlement you can share the funding between two settings up to 15 or 30 hours per week, additional childcare hours can be paid for at a affordable rate of £5 an hour on top of funded hours.
Settling in
Starting Preschool is a big step for you and your child. We appreciate that all children are individuals and adapt to this move in their own time. Some feel right at home straight away whilst others need reassurance and time to settle. Whatever your child's needs we are here to help, and you are welcome to stay until your child feels safe and confident in their new surroundings.
Uniform
Preschool uniform is available to purchase. We have T-shirts and Jumpers with our Preschool logo on. We also have preloved uniform available as an affordable option.
It is not a compulsory requirement, but is a good idea for your child to wear the Preschool uniform on outings as it makes the children more visible.
​
Lunch Club
Please bring a packed lunch for your child. Strictly NO NUTS or SWEETS.
The preschool promotes healthy eating and a lunchbox ideas list can be found in our welcome booklet. We provide water for your child to drink throughout the day, if your child has any dietary requirements these are displayed in the kitchen for staff to see.
Here at the Preschool we have a rolling cafe in the morning where we provide snacks and healthy treats for your child and milk or water at no additional cost to yourselves.
