Times and Fees

What times are you open?

We are open term time only on Monday to Fridays (excluding Bank Holidays). We endeavour to match our days in line with Old Stratford Primary School.

We have a Breakfast club from 07:30 to 08:30. Your child is welcome to attend to play and have a light breakfast. See the fees section for more details.

The morning and afternoon sessions are the most popular. The morning session is 08:30-11:30, and then the afternoon session is 11:30-14:30.

Finally we have an additional late afternoon slot at 14:30-15:00.

Your child can attend the preschool as long as they attend a minimum of 2 of either the morning or afternoon sessions.

Can my 2-4 year old use government funding?

Absolutely. If you have it available then we will accept it. You can use as much or as little of your 15 or 30 hours as required.

You can also pay your fees if not eligible for funding using the tax-free childcare scheme.
