We are a term-time setting, so are closed when our local schools are. You can find the Gloucestershire County Council calendars here: http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/termdates
Little Explorers Playgroup is open from Monday to Thursday throughout school term times from 9.15 to either 12.45pm (half day) or to 2.45pm (full day). To attend a ‘full’ day from 9.15am to 2.45pm children need to bring a packed lunch.
Preschool fees
Our fees are currently £7.50 per hour (as of April 2024).
We are registered for Nursery Education Funding which entitles your child to 15/30 hours a week of free childcare. Full details of the funding your child may be eligible for can be found here:
https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
You will become able to claim the funded entitlement the term after a child turns 3 or 4 year olds (depending on your personal circumstances)
Tiny Explorers
Friday mornings from 9.30am to 11am are dedicated to Tiny Explorers, our Stay and Play session for parents/carers and children from birth to 3 years. Payment is £4 per family by cash or bank transfer on the day.
