Our Fees
Nothing Complicated
At Patcham Village Pre-school we don’t believe things have to be complicated.
Our charges are simply as follows from April 2025;
£8 per hour for un-funded hours, due to increase to £9 per hour from September 2025
Funded Children Consumables Charge
£2 per session for funded 2, 3 and 4 year olds
This charge includes drinks, snacks, nappy bags, wipes, creams, sun cream, activities such as yoga, outings and the use of Tapestry. Excluded are nappies.
A session is 9am-12pm and 12pm-3pm
The consumables charge is voluntary. If you choose to opt out of this charge you will need to let the Manager, Laura, know before you start at the Pre-School and she will provide details of how to supply these items daily.

Families must give 4 weeks notice, this does not include school holidays when we are closed.
