Funded places for 3 & 4 years old
Our Kindergartens are open 35 weeks in an academic year from 8:15am to 1:15pm every weekday (25 hours per week). We are an approved childcare provider, and all three and four year olds are eligible for 15 hours free childcare. This discount ends in the term following the child's fifth birthday.
We currently offer 15-hour Universal Funding. Families have the option of taking the 15-hour Universal Funding as a stand-alone, or together with a full-time place. This is subject to our waiting list. This is for academic year 2025-26, we will review for academic year 2026-27.
Admission process:
- Attend a tour to receive the registration form. Once the registration fee and the registration form have been returned, you are then placed on the waiting list.
- Once a space opens up, we will be back in touch with application forms and request for reports. These will be reviewed and, if we feel we can meet the child's needs, we then offer an interview.
- Following a successful interview for children, a trial week may be offered. If successful the space will be offered and a deposit of £2,000 (from 2026-27) will be requested. For class-age children, following a successful interview, a trial week will be offered. If all goes well, then the space will be offered and a deposit requested.

Notice of withdrawal
Notice of withdrawal has to be given to the school office in writing, dated and signed by the parent/s or guardian/s. We do not accept verbal notification of notice neither can a notice be backdated. A term’s notice, or payment of a term’s fees in lieu of notice, is required when a child leaves the school. Notice must be given by the last day in the penultimate term before leaving. For example, if your child plans to leave the school at the end of the summer term, you must give notice on the last day of the spring term.
Where notice is not given, fees due in lieu of notice are calculated as follows: one third of the annual fees are due from the 1st day of the month after the school is made aware in writing that the child is leaving the school.
