Our standard morning session is 9.15am – 12pm. All children have the option of staying for lunch until 1pm – children bring a packed lunch and drink from home and we ask parents to support the pre-school’s healthy eating and nut-free policies when making their child’s packed lunch.
In addition, we also offer Rising 4 sessions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 1pm – 2.45pm for our older children who will be turning 4 during the academic year. These sessions concentrate on the children’s next steps, including numeracy and literacy, and help prepare them for Primary School. On Monday afternoons we have launched our new Forest School which runs from 1pm – 2.45pm for children aged 3 and over.
Fees & Funding
Our Session Fees:
£19.00 per session (9.15am-12pm) (£20.50 from Sep 2021)
£7.73 for lunch (12-1pm)
£38.00 for all day (9.15am-2.45pm)
All children are eligible for 15 hours Universal Early Years Government Funding the term after they turn three. In addition, some children may be eligible for extra funding via the Government’s Extended 30 hour scheme. Harpsden Pre-School is a registered charity and we try to keep our fees as low as possible. Where this Government funding is claimed for sessions at Harpsden Pre-School parents will be asked to make a voluntary parental contribution to the pre-school to cover the shortfall between the amount of Government funding received and the actual running costs of the pre-school. These contributions are:
£9.02 per session (9.15am-12pm)
£3.73 for lunch (12-1pm)
£18.04 for all day (9.15am-2.45pm)
Families in receipt of certain benefits may be able to claim 2 year old funding. We can claim extra funding through the Early Years Pupil Premium scheme to support children’s development, learning and care and the Disability Access Fund. Children are eligible for EYPP if their parent/s are in receipt of certain benefits.
