Fees & Funding
We hold preschool sessions five days a week.
The session times are:
Morning: 9.00am to 12.00 noon – Educational sessions
Lunch club: 12 noon to 12.30pm. Children bring their own packed lunch. Once lunch is finished the children are able to play with the activities set out.
Afternoon: 12.00pm to 3.00pm – Educational sessions. Lunch time will be included in this session.
Please note on Tuesdays we are open 9.00am-12.00 noon ONLY.
Children can attend any combination of sessions. Sessions need to be booked before the beginning of each term with the rota secretary.
Extra sessions, breakfast club & lunch club sessions are available throughout the term, on top of children’s regular sessions. We aim where possible to be flexible and are often able to change sessions mid-term if your circumstances change (subject to availability).
Fees Information
Marsworth Preschool is a registered charity and is totally self-supporting. Whilst we aim to cover such items as rent and basic running costs from the fees, we do also rely heavily on fundraising to be able to offer the best opportunities we can. To help meet these additional costs, we request a voluntary £30 contribution per term, which is attached to your invoice. This is non-obligatory however it does greatly support the running of the preschool and reduces our reliance on other fundraising activities.
The current fees per session are:
Morning £20.40 (3 hours x £6.80 per hour)
Lunch £4.00 Can be added to the morning session
Afternoon £20.40 (3 hours x £6.80 per hour) Includes lunch club
Early Drop Off: 8.30am £4.00
There is an additional charge of 70p per day to cover the cost of snacks.
Invoices are issued on a termly basis; payment can be made in two equal instalments across the term. The first by the beginning of term and the second due at half term break. All fees are strictly non-refundable.
There is a late payment charge of £25 applicable on all invoices.
If your child is on holiday or unwell you are required to continue to pay whilst they are absent.
If you wish to change your child’s sessions or wish your child to no longer attend Preschool, we do require a minimum of half a term’s notice.
When you first register to join our Preschool, a registration fee of £15 is payable once a start date & sessions are confirmed. This fee is refunded against your first invoice.
Should you ever have any difficulties regarding fees, please contact our Preschool Committee chair to discuss in confidence.
