Fees Explained 
Our preschool core sessions are 9am to 12pm or 12pm to 3pm and EYFE funding can be used against these. Additional sessions can be added from 8am to 6pm with additional fees.

Most 2-4 years olds are eligible for 15 hours per week. Our core sessions are 3hrs and you can use funding against these. 15hr funding allows you to have 5 half days (9am to 12pm or 12pm to 3pm) 38 weeks per year. Some eligible children are entitled to 30hr funding. This allows you to have 10 half days (9am to 12pm or 12pm to 3pm) 38 weeks per year.

Bank Holidays and other non-attendance
We do not charge for bank holidays. There’s no reduction in charges for absence due to holiday, sickness or any other reason.

What to do if you decide to leave
As part of our Parent Contract one months’ notice is required prior to decreasing sessions or withdrawing your child. Should you wish to withdraw your child from the Fiveways Playcentre, you must provide one month’s written notice by email to the Office Manager.  Should you withdraw your child from the nursery without providing one month’s written notice, the notice period will be deemed to have started on your child’s last day. Notice is not required if during the first month of settling either party wishes to end the agreement.
