Fees

---

We are a registered charity and although we receive government funding which works out at considerably less than the minimum wage hourly rate we have to implement a few extra charges to keep our finances sustainable.

Attendance fees are £20.50 for 3 hour session for those who do not claim the government funding schemes. Snack contributions is 75p each day attending. Resources & materials £30 termly. Late pick up fee £5.00. Additional £5.00 for nappies or non returning of preschool clothing items.

Payment of fees are paid within the first 3 weeks  of each term unfortunately there is no deduction made for ill-health or holidays. A child will lose their place if fees are not paid. The cost of fees are reviewed each September, as they must cover running costs. We accept cash, cheques, direct payments or childcare vouchers.

Children will receive one free logo t-shirt when starting Little Stars, a t-shirt and book bag with Preschool.

All children are entitled to 15 hours per week free education in the term after their third birthday and some two year olds may also be entitled. Some parents are legible for 30 hours free childcare.  Please check on www.gov.uk/help-with-childcare-costs to see if you qualify.
