Pre-school sessions and fees

Our Pre-school offers flexible sessions, competitive rates and up to 30 hours’ free funding.

We welcome children to our Pre-school following their third birthday.

We know that starting Pre-school is a big step for both children and parents. To help your child settle in, build confidence and form friendships, we recommend attending at least two sessions per week.

We are always happy to welcome children for full-time sessions too, and we’ll work closely with you to find the routine that feels right for your child. If your needs change, additional sessions can be arranged easily with a quick chat.
