OUR USUAL ENROLMENT PROCESS
-
Add your child to our Waiting List.
-
A few weeks before the required start date you will be contacted to see if you are still waiting for a place.
-
We will arrange a telephone conversation between a parent/carer and one of our senior team OR you can opt to come in for a visit.
-
Elaine will send all the relevant information via email.
-
We will arrange a Stay & Play session which lasts for around half an hour. A parent/carer will stay with the child so we can see how they are likely to settle in. You will meet your child's keyworker and agree a suitable start date.
-
Parents/carers will bring the child's birth certificate or passport, their red health record book and a household utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 3 months.
Our Christmas Fayre
Saturday 11th December between 1pm - 4pm
Bring your child to meet Santa stalls and refreshments available
all children welcome
*£3.50 per child
We use an online portal system to
share children's learning directly with their family. This gives families access to their keyworker and the
children's real-time
experiences.
We encourge parents/carers to contribute so we have an accurate record of the children's stages of development.
Please send in photos and a short explanation of what your child has been up to recently or if they found something particularly interesting.
FOCUS ON COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE
The children love to talk to us about their families and what they've been up to. This encourages our children to start conversations, using lots of language, promotes confidence and high self esteem.
We are arranging a gallery of photographs of all our children within their family groups.
This could also include other family members, friends and pets.
*Our attending children pay only £2.50
"Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 10th November at 7pm.
Please support us."
This board will display some of the topics we have covered in recent weeks or coming up.
Most of our learning is led by the children's interests and ideas, mixed with a range of festivals and celebrations from around the World.
As we have several children attending with English not being their first language, we ensure everyone explores different ways to communicate effectively and encourage all the children to join in together, using key words and sign language.

ADMINISTRATION FEE
DUE TO BE PAID BY ALL FAMILIES
All families must pay the administration fee, of £40.00, prior to starting with us.
Your child's placement is not allocated until this is received in full.
WE ALSO HAVE UNIFORM AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE
SESSION & DAYCARE FEES
FOR ANY HOURS OUTSIDE OF FUNDING
We charge a flat rate of £6.50 per hour, for all children, for any unfunded hours. We try to keep our fees as low as possible for families, however, the need for extra staff to support all of our attending children to reach their early learning goals, for a confident start to Primary School, means we are consistently above the staff to child ratio.
