Costs
Silverstone Pre-School aims to balance our session charges so they fall in line with local competitors whilst also maintaining the cost of staffing and the running of the Pre-School.
Daily Session Costs
Morning session £17.50
Afternoon session £17.50
Snack charge £0.50p each session
Lunch Club £2.75
All day session £38.75
**Please note that lunch club is charged to all children, including funded families as funding is not used to cover this part of the session. This will be included on your child’s invoice each month**
When you enrol with Silverstone Pre-School we ask for a £50 deposit to secure your child’s place and ask that this is provided with the completion and return of the admission forms. This amount will be credited back to you on your first invoice or transferred back to you after your child’s first month with us if they are fully funded. This deposit is not refunded if you choose to withdraw your child’s application before they start.
We do offer extra sessions where ratios permit this and we have the space and we will always try to accommodate our families wherever possible. We do not offer swap sessions.
Consumables
Consumable’s are charged at 50p per session which covers the cost of things such as snacks, toiletries, craft resources, etc. Due to being a charity run pre-school, this means we unfortunately can not cover the cost of these ourselves and therefore these charges are invoiced to ALL parents each month, including funded families.
*Please note that an all day session is classed as 2 sessions (morning and afternoon)*
All invoices are payable via BACS or cash payments and must be paid by the 1st of each month in advance of that month. We do accept childcare vouchers if this is something you wish to use through your workplace.
If you have any questions about payments and fees then please contact our manager, Rachel Kingston.
