Our Fees

Government funding is available for all children aged 3 years and over for up to 15 hours per week. Free funding will commence the term after a child turns 3 i.e. by 31 August for the Autumn term; by 31 December for the Spring Term or by 31 March for the Summer Term. These hours can be used flexibly according to your needs. For children under 3 years, fees are charged by the session (see below). We welcome payment via childcare vouchers and bank transfers too.

With the government drive to improve outcomes for all children, we are pleased to be able to offer 2 year old funding for children and families that meet certain criteria. Please speak to the Leader in confidence if you think this applies to your family.

St John's Nursery Playgroups are offering the 30 Hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds which started in September 2017. You will need to go through the eligibility checker on the Government website to find out if you are eligible www.childcarechoices.gov.uk.

We do require half a terms notice if your child is leaving with any fees duly paid up to date.

At St John's we also provide a Lunch Club running from 12.00 to 1.00pm Monday to Thursdays. See our current fees (below), to be paid weekly or half termly in advance or as part of the flexible entitlement.
