This fee is voluntary. Where parents are unable or unwilling to contribute, the invoice will be amended upon request. Should you wish to discuss this fee, please contact the office.

Late Collection of children- Please note that it is important for the children and staff that children are collected promptly. Whilst we appreciate that delays are sometimes unavoidable, we do reserve the right to charge to cover our costs, as staff may have to be paid overtime. There will be no charge for the first five minutes but a charge of £1 per minute thereafter. If you are going to be late collecting your child, you must notify the setting. Failure to do so will mean that the setting are obliged to contact the local authority children’s social care team. This is a legal requirement

Here at Long Crendon Pre-School, we accept children who wish to access the 2, 3 or 4 year old funding. Funding for each age group can be accessed from the term after their respective birthday.

Based on your eligibility you can claim up to 15 hours which equates to 2.5 days or 5 mornings or 5 afternoons. 30 hours would equate to 5 days (8:45 – 3pm Monday to Friday)

Please note that funding can only be claimed against the Pre-School core hours which are 8:45 – 3pm.
