Fees and Funding

Government Funding

From the term after your child turns three years old, they are universally entitled to 15 hours of funded provision per week as standard. You are welcome to pay to add on further sessions above and beyond those covered by the funding.

The Government have also introduced funding for children of working parents from 9 months. We accept government funding from 12 months of age.

Additional Charges

At Coppull St John's Pre-School and Forest Explorers, we run as a Community Interest Company (CIC) which means the money raised by the setting goes directly back into the setting and its community- not to any private owner.

We pride ourselves on the way we choose to staff our setting, usually with more staff than legally required, to provide the best opportunities for our learners.
We also provide additional enhancements to enrich the opportunities of our little learners. Below you will see a table of the additional charges we request in addition to funded hours to support us in being able to maintain a strong offer for our children.
