Sessions & Fees

Bubbles Preschool is a committee led, not for profit charity; we rely entirely on income from fundraising, government funding and private fees. Our private fees will be age dependent from Spring Term (January) 2027. For the Autumn Term 2026 we have a flat fee of £6.50 per hour.

​

We accept all forms of childcare vouchers and are registered for tax free childcare. 

 

We offer flexible sessions and have places for both funded and private fee paying children. Funding can be taken on a flexible basis to suit your needs. You can use all or some of your funding on a combination of sessions that suit you (subject to availability and opening times).

​

When your child turns 3, they will be entitled to Universal Funding of 15 hours per week starting from the TERM AFTER their 3rd birthday.

​

If you are working, you may be entitled to the government’s 15 or 30 hour Working Parent Entitlement. To find more information on this and to apply, please visit www.beststartinlife.gov.uk

​

If you are a family in England who get extra support, like Universal Credit or your child has an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP), then your 2 year old may be entitled to 15 hours of Early Learning Funding each week. More information about eligibility criteria and how to apply can be found here.

You can find out more about funding and what you may be entitled to by visiting: https://childcare.beststartinlife.gov.uk/ 

We are open term time only and follow as closely as we can with the holiday dates of the local schools.

All of our sessions start at 8:30 and you may book either 3 or 5 hour sessions Monday - Friday, with the further options of 6 and 7 hour sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
