We believe in supporting children in a range of activities.
Session Times
- Monday to Friday : morning session : 8.55am – 11.25am.
How much does it cost?
Each session at playgroup costs £8.75.
When can my child attend?
The playgroup caters for up to 20 children per session from the age of 2 years and 9 months. Subject to availability your child will be offered 5 sessions (at 2.5 hours per session) per week. Parents/carers will have the opportunity to choose how many sessions, and what days your child attends. The administrator coordinates the requirements of all parents/carers, term by term, and where ever possible aims to provide parents’ first preference.
When will my child be eligible for a free early education place?
A child becomes eligible for a free place from 1 September, 1 January or 1 April following their third birthday. Please take note that Herts County Council have a clear procedure which dictates when children are eligible for this. The administrator will apply for this funding on your behalf.
