All children who are three before 31 December (for the Spring Term), 31 March (for the Summer Term) or 31 August (for the Autumn Term) are entitled to Government funding for up to 15 hours per week. These hours can be used flexibly by including lunch club and/or early starts – see below.

Children who are 2 years old may be eligible to claim funded sessions as part of the ‘national 2 year old pilot’ if parents are receiving certain benefits/tax credits. Please speak to Celia Mills in confidence if you think you may be eligible.

Our current fees are detailed below. These can be paid termly/half termly /monthly or weekly in advance. Fees must still be paid if children are absent for any reason. If your child needs to be absent for a long period of time for example due to medical issues, please discuss this with the manager. For your child to keep a place at the playgroup, you must pay the fees or we must receive nursery education funding for your child.

We require half a terms notice if your child is leaving or payment in lieu.

At St John's we provide a Lunch Club running from 12.15 to 1.15pm every day provided we have a minimum of 6 children booked in per day. See our current fees below, to be paid half termly or weekly in advance.

Our newest service is to offer an ‘earlier start’ for parents who need to get to work or prefer the shorter waiting time, having dropped older children at primary school.

For children who are not eligible for funding or who have ‘used’ their 15 hours entitlement, the following fees apply:
