Admission, Rates & Hours

We are able to offer places to any child who have reached the age of 2 years old, subject to our available spaces and Admissions policy

We are able to accept 24 children at each session

Children in nappies are accommodated- we ask that you supply nappies, sacks, wipes and a change of clothing each session

Until your child reaches funding age, all Welland Pre-school sessions are charged at £4.37 per hour. Invoices are emailed to parents at the start of each term, with payment required within 14 days (unless a payment plan has been pre-authorised by our finance department)

Usually 15 hours free funding begins the term after your child reaches their 3rd birthday however for children born in April, funding begins from September

Any hours attended outside of funded hours are charged at the above hourly rate

We also accept 2 year old funding and 30 hours funding to those eligible. You can check your eligibility on the Worcestershire County Council website

Our pre-school can accept childcare vouchers; please contact us to discuss which you use & what we can arrange to accept

As we are a pre-school, we mimic the same term-times and hours as local schools

We run: 

Morning sessions from 09:00-12:00

Lunch session 12:00-13:00

Afternoon sessions from 13:00-15:00

We generally require a minimum of 2 sessions per week on separate days in order to help children settle and feel happy at the pre-school

We now offer a Breakfast Club from 08:30 until 09:00 which includes a choice of cereal or toast for breakfast for £4 per session
