Fees and Funding

At Scotter preschool, we strive to provide accessible childcare at an affordable rate to all children who live in our local community. Our charges are set at a level to support our provision in providing a high quality service, outstanding activities and highly skilled staff.

Sessions available (maximum day is 10 hours):

Additional Sessions

Hourly rate: £6:00

Breakfast Club:  £9.00 per breakfast club (0730-0900)  

Half day: £18.00 per session per 3hr session (0900-1200 or 1200-1500)

Full day: £36 for 6 hour session (0900-1500)

Teatime Club: £15 (1500-1730)

Fees continue to be payable if a child is absent due to sickness or holidays etc. In cases of prolonged absence, parents should consult the Trustees about fee payment. Each child’s attendance at preschool is conditional upon continued payment of any necessary fees and regular attendance for funded children.

Charges are regularly reviewed by the board of trustees, and are in line with other settings in our locality.

Food

Parents are required to provide a packed lunch for children attending a full day (9-3). This will be served at noon at the start of the afternoon session.

For added convenience and flexibility, we can supply food for children, at a small fee:

• Breakfast: £1.50 (for children attending breakfast club)
• Morning Snack: £1
• Light tea: £2.50 (for children attending teatime club)

Parents will receive a monthly invoice to cover the cost of food purchased.  If parents do not wish to purchase food, they can provide their own food, in accordance with our packed lunch policy.

Children in receipt EL2 and children in receipt of Early Years Pupil Premium will not have this contribution added to their monthly invoice, however all parents are welcome to make a voluntary contribution to support sustainability of the pre-school.
