Our aim is to offer a happy, enjoyable and stimulating environment for your child. Our Pre-School wants to give your child the opportunity to grow and learn preparing them for their next steps into school life.

We are based within the grounds of Weston Favell Primary School and form strong links with our school in particular we work closely with the reception class and their teachers, enabling a smooth transition into school. We have places for children once they reach their third birthday and offer the government funded entitlement of 15 hours free childcare each week during term time, starting the term after your child’s third birthday (Universal funding). You may also be entitled to an extra 15 hours of free childcare per week (Extended hours funding). Please follow the link below to check your entitlement.

If you are eligible for the Extended hours funding, you must apply and have received your entitlement code by the end of the month before the term starts. You must then recheck your eligibility every three months and advise the School office of the code given.

If you are not entitled to Extended hours funding but would like your child to attend more than 15 hours per week, if there are sessions available, you can pay for the additional sessions at a cost of £15.00 per session.

We try to accommodate requests but we are currently limited to 55 places per sessions, which are allocated on a first come first served basis. Sessions are booked for the whole year but can be cancelled with a notice period.

Statements and payments are to be issued as per the contract for 2023-24
