Consumables
Whilst EYF funding contributes to basic childcare costs, this does not cover the costs of other consumables the school uses in order to ensure the health and safety of your child whilst in our care. For those children who will be accessing the EEF in the afternoons, we will now be applying an optional consumable cost of £1.00 per afternoon ( 33p per hour) in order to cover the cost of consumables such as disposable aprons, disposable gloves, wipes, baby changing table roll liners, sun cream, calpol/piriton etc.

Please note, families who will NOT be claiming EYF and paying for the full day (£54.30) will not be billed for lunchtime care or the optional consumable as this is included in the full day price.

All class fees are inclusive of books, tuition, games and swimming.

Fees are payable monthly for Nursery and Kindergarten.  A surcharge will be payable on overdue accounts.

Notice of withdrawal should be made in writing one full term before the child is to leave, or a term’s fees in lieu of notice must be paid.

We accept Child Care Vouchers, Trafford Early Years Funding (15 hours) and Working Parent Entitlement Funding (Age 2 upwards, 15 hours).
