About Us

We are a small charitable pre-school who offer a nurturing environment, who treats every child as an individual, making learning fun and tailored to their interests. We are rated 'Good' with OFSTED.
We offer childcare for children aged 2 through to school age. We operate in one room so all age rages are together providing the opportunity to become excellent role models for one another. We have a large outside play area, compromising of grass and concrete and an outdoor classroom to allow for small groups to access focused activities through Wellcomm and Early Talk Boost to enhance speech and language, attention and listening by having small focused groups, We also use this space for specific targeted activities to prepare for school readiness.

Our qualified and experienced team are committed to ensuring that every child reaches their full potential. As a result, staff have gained a vast experience in child development and supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities.

Every member of staff is trained in paediatric first aid, and safeguarding. For children who need a little extra support to close the gap or keep your little one motivated, we have a SENCO on site at all times too.

Our Fees

  • Childcare from £11.99 per morning
  • Childcare from £11.99 per afternoon
  • Childcare from £27.00 per day
  • Childcare from £140.00 per week
  • Childcare from £575.99 per month

It is difficult to say how much a weekly cost would be, as this depends on how much funding you receive. As a guide though, our sessions cost £11.50 and if you are paying yourself this includes snack. However, if the Government/LA are paying for sessions they do not cover the cost of snack and lunchtime provision cover, we therefore ask for an additional payment of £1.00 per session for lunch and £1.00 per session for snack. The cost of lunch time does not include the food; this merely helps towards the cost of a staff member to supervise at lunchtime. As an example of costings, for a child receiving 15 hours funding but require 30 hrs childcare would be, that you top up the extra hours yourself, this would then cost £67.50 a week and a healthy packed lunch every day. Or if you wanted 3 full days, with the Government paying 15 hours the additional including snacks and lunch time cover would cost £19.50 a week and their healthy packed lunch.

The system will not allow me to any less than the prices in the nursery rates section so here are the actual prices.
£11.50 for a morning or afternoon session, including snack
£1.00 for lunch time cover (bring a packed lunch)
£24.00 for the whole day
£120 for the whole week
£480 for the whole month
