Fees

For the current academic year the Fee per session is £9.96 for 3 hours - children may be eligible for funding from North Somerset Council for 2.5 hours which amounts to £8.30 which means that if funding is obtained, the payment per session is for the unfunded half hour which is £1.66.

Fees will be increased
annually in line with the North Somerset Nursery Education Funding. Fees continue to be
payable if a child is absent without notice or for a short time. In cases of prolonged absence,
parents should contact the management/committee about fee payment.

We are now able to accept Sodexho vouchers .

Each child’s
attendance at the group is conditional upon continued receipt of any necessary fees or Nursery
Funding. Parents should give a full half-term’s notice if a decrease in the number of sessions
is required. An increase in sessions, or a change of day, will be subject to availability.

Ofsted Inspections

The Pre-School is inspected by Ofsted and the standard of care and education offered is
assessed. Our report and action plan are always available for your perusal.

"The Pre-School provides a caring and welcoming environment which serves the local
community well by providing good support for parents and carers"

"Children are confident, behaviour is good and they relate well to each other"

Our "outstanding" Ofsted Report.

Special Needs

The Pre-School staff ensure that each child is able to progress at his/her own rate in all areas
of development, and this is true for children with or without disabilities or learning
difficulties. Activities are adapted to enable all children to join in. We are experienced in
working closely with professionals across the range of special needs. If you would like to
discuss the group’s ability to meet your child’s needs, please talk to the pre-school leader,
Senco or your child’s key worker. Our full special needs policy can be seen in the Policy section of this site..
