Set out below is the timetable for starting playgroup (as of September 2024). We initially welcome children from 2 years on Wednesday mornings however there is the possibility for 2 years olds to also attend a morning session (9-12) on a Monday, Thursday and Friday depending on availability. We then introduce them gradually into further/extended sessions as required so the children become used to routines.
Subject to availability, children can attend as little or as much as you would like and you can combine in setting and forest school sessions or do one or the other - we aim to be as flexible as possible.
From June 2024 the cost is £6.60 per hour plus £1 consumable charge per hour. We are also able to accept “vouchers” if you are eligible for childcare funding (either from 2 years or for the term after they turn 3).
If you think you are eligible for any of the government funding, please use the eligibility calculator online by visiting the website https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk or get in touch with us to discuss further.
