Funding

We offer childcare for children aged 2 years to rising 5’s and accept 2, 3 and 4-year funding. There are different government funding options available to families, and to find out if you are eligible and which option is right for you, please visit the Childcare Choices webpage, which can be accessed via this link:  Homepage | Childcare Choices

Depending on the Early years funding you are eligible for, you could receive 15 hours per week, a total of 570 hours per year, or 30 hours per week, a total of 1,140 hours per year. The total amount of hours will depend on when your child’s birthday falls and the weeks per term per year. As there are variables, we will go through the funding with you before your child starts.

 Cost and times

We are extremely flexible with our start and finish times and parents can book times to suit, rather than having to book sessions. We also tailor our opening and closing times to suit the cohort of families we have each year and our rates are extremely competitive. We also do not charge extra costs or have hidden costs for the service we provide.

 Food In Pre-School/Allergens Guidelines:

We ask parents to provide their children with their own healthy snacks, consisting of a variety of fruit, breadsticks, plain biscuits, etc. Any foods/drinks shared within Pre-School for birthdays/celebrations etc. must be in original unopened packaging. Due to the regulations which came into effect in December 2014 from the Food Standards Agency.

Parents must inform us of any allergies/intolerances their child or immediate family may have.

Lymington Centre Pre-School.

My son settled in very quickly after starting here when his previous pre-school closed. The staff worked with me to ensure inclusion in all activities taking into account food allergies and skin conditions. Staff were approachable and friendly, and my son loves attending here.

 

Brilliant Pre-School would highly recommend my oldest grandson went and now my youngest grandson has just started made to feel very welcome . Keep up the good work x

 

All the staff at the pre-school are incredibly warm, friendly and engaging. My son particularly enjoys the themed activities and the ‘People Who Help Us’ visits.
