ADDITIONAL SERVICE CHARGE
Parents may request extra hours/ Sessions, but must be requested in writing and agreed with Preschool manager in advance. extra hours/ Sessions will be charged at our hourly rate.
Early Educational Funding only covers the cost of childcare that is provided, all other consumables we use including snacks, Online Access to blossom etc are not covered in the funding which we get from the government (which is currently £4.70 an hour for funded 3-4 year olds and £5.32 for 2 year olds). Due to this deficit, we have been forced to put an additional service charge in place from September 2017, this is 50p an hour. . This will not cover the full shortfall between our hourly fees and the EEF however we feel that the cost a session is affordable for parents and will cover the additional items we provide.
The additional service charge which is currently voluntary and is not a condition of receiving the 15 or 30 hours funding entitlement.
If you opted to provide the additional items rather than pay the 50p a hour , please see the list below and the attached snack list for items which you will be required to provide:
