See the earlier sections for an overview of the services included in our three Care Packages.
Waddlers
Waddlers is a dedicated room for children aged between 12 months old and 24 months old and is available all year round between 8am and 6pm. Children normally move from Waddlers into the Ducklings pre-school room in the term after their second birthday.
Prices as follows
Full-day:
Between 8am and 4pm : £32 flat fee
Extended to 5pm : £36
Extended to 6pm : £40
Half Day:
Between 8am and 12pm : £20
Extended to 1pm : £24
1pm to 5pm : £20
Extended to 6pm : £25
For children aged over two years old, we have three care packages available
Play-as-you-Go
This is the traditional sessional care over the 38 “school weeks” at a flat fee of £3.75 per hour. Morning and afternoon sessions are available and a breakfast and/or lunch can also be added.
Flexi-care
This package allows Parents to tailor their attendance and is charged at a flate rate of £3.75 per hour. For example you could select 11 o’clock to 3 o’clock each day and the daily charge would be £15.00 (4 hours@ £3.75).
Children attending for more than 30 hours per week qualify for a discounted hourly rate of £3.50, so for example, if your child attends between 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock every day, your daily fee would be £22.50, making £112.50 for the week. As you can vary the hours and days attended, you’re only paying for the care you need. e.g. finish at 4.30 pm, pay until 4.30 pm and not until 6.00 pm like some other settings!
We are completely flexible in our approach – ring (or e-mail) with your specific needs and we will be delighted to provide a quotation with the terms and conditions applicable.
N.B. The Flexi-care package does not need to be taken over a 52 week period.
Club Class
This is for those who require a guaranteed Nursery place throughout the year.
Prices start as low as £3.00 an hour meaning a full week between 8 o’clock and 6 o’clock is only £150.00. But hurry, at these prices, places won’t be available long!
For all three packages, any funding provided through the Nursery Education Grant will be deducted at source, leaving only the balance to pay.
