Navigating Fees and Funding: Supporting Families at Parkway Preschool
We are open Monday - Friday
Monday - Thursday: 9am - 3pm and Fridays - 9am - 12pm (Term Time Only).
Lunch club is still an option for those attending mornings.
Children attend either 9am to 12pm, 9am to 1pm or 9am to 3pm.
If your child attends over the lunch break (12pm - 1pm) they require a packed lunch.
Please note that our term dates often differ from school terms.
2-Year-Olds
From April 2024 the government introduced 2-year-old funded places for working families. If eligible you can claim 15 hours per week early years care and provision from the term after your child’s 2nd birthday. To find out if your child is eligible please use the link below.
3 and 4-Year-Olds
Every child is entitled to up to 15 hours per week early years care and provision from the term after their 3rd birthday. You do not have to use your full entitlement and will only be required to sign termly for the hours used. You may claim your funded hours across more than one setting.
30 Hour Funded Childcare
Parkway pre-school also offers places for working parents who are eligible for 30 hours free childcare.
To find out if your child is eligible, please use the link below.
To access funded childcare parents must complete and sign a declaration form each term. Failure to do this may result in the funded place being withdrawn. There are rules and criteria that must be adhered to. Funding cannot be used for ad hoc sessions, only permanently booked sessions.
9am - 12pm: £21.00
9am - 3pm: £42.00
Lunch Club (for those attending mornings): £7.00
