Fees and Funding
The Preschool operates as a not-for-profit group. Income is generated through government funding for free entitlement to nursery education and parental fees. Eligible families can apply for extended funding entitlement of up to 30 hours a week term time. Details of eligibility criteria and instructions for applying are on the Wiltshire website.
Fees are payable half-termly in advance unless prior agreement is reached. Please speak in confidence to Cleo or Caroline in cases of hardship.
Fees continue to be payable if a child is absent for a short time. In cases of prolonged absence, parents should contact Cleo or Caroline.
Children are eligible for 15 hours free entitlement to nursery education which can be delivered flexibly to meet family requirements. The free entitlement begins in the term following a child's third birthday. However, in some cases, children may be eligible for nursery education funding at two years of age. For further details, please speak to Cleo or Caroline or email cleo@aldbournepreschool.com or caroline@aldbournepreschool.com.
