Sessions & Pricing

Sessions run Monday - Friday during term time.

​

We offer two sessions per day with a lunch club in between them.

Children can come for one or two sessions  a day. We recommend that children attend a minimum of 3 sessions per week to help them  settle in securely and build strong friendships with the staff and other children at the setting.

​

Our Core Funded Hours are 9:00am - 12:00pm and 12:30pm - 3:30pm. Outside of our Core Funded Hours funding can still be used but a surcharge of £3.00/hour will be invoiced. This applies to the Early Drop Off and Lunch Club half hour sessions

Government funding only covers a very basic level of childcare. We want to be able provide better care than this. To make this possible we ask parents to pay a flat rate fee of £7.50 per week to contribute to the additional services that we provide.

​

This provides all the extras that will enhance your child's time at Seedlings and is much easier than asking for, and collecting, multiple payments for these throughout the year:

​

  • Higher staff to child ratio than is required by Government standards

  • Online Learning Journey, Messaging and News Feed all in a convenient phone app so that you can keep in touch with your child's daily activities at pre school

  • Special events such as Important Person Breakfasts, Christmas and Graduation Party

  • Extra craft for creating presents for you to treasure on special occasions such as Valentines Day, Christmas, Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day etc

  • Additional activities such as Woodland Walks ,Dancing, Cookery, Super Maths

  • Sun cream

 

We do not want this to prevent you sending your child to Seedlings so, if you are unable to afford this, then please speak to us.
