Little Bumbles Pre-School Fee and Funding Structure.

Here at Little Bumbles Pre-School, we offer a fair and flexible funding and childcare fee offer to help families access high quality early childhood care and education.

We accept government funding for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds between the hours of 9am and 3pm, Monday -Friday term time only. We also offer wrap around care for 2, 3 and 4 year olds between the hours of 8 -9am and 3 -5pm, Monday to Friday, term time only. Any hours accessed outside of funded hours is payable as this classed as additional care outside of normal Pre-School operating times.

Families can access their funded hours free of charge. As Government funding does not cover meals/snacks, consumables, and additional activities, we ask for a voluntary contribution towards these costs as outlined below. Parents can also save 20% on their childcare costs by paying through their Tax Free Childcare Account.

Lunch: children may bring a packed lunch form home, that adheres to our healthy eating policies. Or, a school lunch may be ordered from the Primary School kitchen.

We have a sports session with an outside provider once a week.

We provide a healthy snack each morning and afternoon.

Fresh drinking water and milk is always readily available for the children throughout the day.
