Fees and Charges

Waiting List

Please note that there is no fee to join the pre-school waiting list.

 

Registration Fee

When your child is offered a place at the pre-school, parents are requested to pay a non-refundable £30 registration fee. For parents unable to pay this fee please speak to the pre-school manager when your child is offered a place.

 

Universal Free Early Education Entitlement

Every child between the ages of 3 and 5 years is entitled to receive the Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) for up to 15 hours a week at a registered early years setting. Noor Ul Islam pre-school is registered to receive this grant and parents will not need to pay any additional top-up fees for the 15 hours. If a child is taking up the entitlement across two settings parents must indicate this on their child’s Parental Declaration Form.

Extended Free Early Education Entitlement (30 hours)

You may be able to get up to 30 hours free childcare (1,140 hours per year, which you can choose how you take). If you’re eligible for the extra hours, you sign up online to get a code to give to your childcare provider to reserve your place. You’ll get the extra hours once the following term starts.

Please check here for eligibility.

 

Fees for hours in excess of the FEEE

For children attending the pre-school in excess of their funded universal or extended hours, a fee will be applied. From September 2024 the fee will be £7.25 per hour. Our fees are reviewed annually. 

 

Tax-Free childcare

We are a part of the government’s Tax-Free childcare scheme. If you need to pay fees and are eligible, the government will pay £2 for every £8 you pay your childcare provider via an online account.

Early Years Pupil Premium

The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) is additional funding early years settings receive to improve the quality of provision for disadvantaged 3 and 4 year old children. It applies to children in receipt of the FEEE from the term following their 3rd birthday.

Late Fee

The morning sessions finish at 11:45am, the afternoon sessions finish at 3:30pm. Parents are expected to be punctual in collecting their child. If any parent arrives 10 minutes or more late to collect their child (i.e. 11:55am/ 3:40pm or later) they will be charged a late fee of £5.00. This fee applies even if parents have asked someone else to collect their child and they are late.

 

Snack Fee

Parents are requested to donate £1.25 per week to the snack tin (25p per day). This contributes to providing all our children with snack during the session, regular cooking activities, and refreshments for parties. Any parent who will have difficulties paying this should speak to the pre-school manager.

 

Book Scheme

Children are offered the option of joining the pre-school’s book scheme which allows them to choose a book to take home at the end of each week to read with their families. To join this scheme parents/carers have to pay a deposit of £5.00, which will be refunded to them when the child leaves the pre-school. Parents will lose this deposit if books are returned damaged.
