In the interests of your child’s wellbeing and educational development, we recommend that our Explorers (children who will become 3 years of age between September and August) attend at least 3 morning or afternoon sessions per week, and that our Adventurers (children who will become 4 years of age between September and August) attend at least 5 morning or afternoon sessions per week.

Early years funding entitlement will be deducted from these costs.  Full fees charged for all bank holidays. 

THE CROFT TRANBY PRE-SCHOOL 15 HOURS FREE CHILDCARE OFFER

Early years funding entitles children up to 15 hours of free Pre-School sessions in term time (up to 38 weeks) from the start of the term after they have turned three.

From September 2024 eligible working parents will be able to apply for 15 hours funded childcare for their two-year-old, applications via:  https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/ Funded sessions options are:

Mornings - 08:30 to 11:30        Afternoons - 12:30 to 15:30

(Maximum number of 6 funded hours per day, only available during the above times)

Sessions booked outside these funded times will be charged at the relevant rates as listed above.

Term-time children: The Croft has updated its funding claim process to match the specific weeks when term-time children attend, due to the difference in term lengths in an Independent School setting and many children attending all year-round. This approach ensures that the funding accurately reflects the actual attendance of the children.
