Cost variations

Longham Pre-school will charge an attendance fee prior to a child becoming eligible for ‘Government Early Education’ funding. In the term following a child’s third birthday, attendance fees will only be charged if all the funding is being allocated to another provider. Fees are currently £17.55 per morning session or £35.10 for a whole day. £5.85 per hour. These fees will be requested on a half termly basis. Some aspects are not covered by the ‘Government Early Education’ funding. The additional services charge covers access to Tapestry, hygiene consumables, snack bar, seasonal activities and other enrichment activities such a yoga, baking, crafts, gardening etc. This charge is £1 per hour. You are entitled to opt-out of the additional services charge; however it will mean you will lose out on the benefits mentioned above.
