The Playschool charges £3.00 per hour until the term following the child’s third birthday, which is payable in advance. Children will be eligible for up to 15 hours of free education (subject to availability) from the term following their third birthday which is funded by the government under the Extended Flexible Entitlement scheme. Should your child claim their grant elsewhere, Playschool will charge a top-up fee, in line with the grant payment, which currently stands at £4.12 per hour. Fees continue to be payable when a child is either absent without notice, or absent for a short period. In cases of prolonged absence, parents should consult the Committee. Each child’s attendance at the Playschool is conditional upon continued payment of fees, and for eligible three and four year olds, the completion of a grant claim under the Extended Flexible Entitlement scheme. 4 weeks notice is required should you wish to cancel your child’s sessions at Playschool.
The Playschool is part of Hampshire County Council’s Pathfinder project for provision of the Extended Flexible Entitlement, which encourages experimentation with ways of best meeting the childcare needs of parents in our community. Parents are encouraged to discuss the days and hours of attendance that would best suit their needs with members of the management team and committee which will be reviewed on a termly basis with the aim of discovering ways that The Playschool can meet those needs. The Playschool will, from time to time, survey parents in order to find out how well we are meeting your needs and how we could do better; your participation in these surveys would be appreciated as we may be required to present their results to Hampshire County Council.
