How much will my child’s education and care cost?

As a non-profit making charitable organisation, we aim to keep our fees as low as possible. Harbury Pre-School is managed by a committee of parent volunteers who contribute their time thereby reducing overall costs. The membership, who are parents of the children currently attending Pre-School, elect the Committee at an annual general meeting. The Committee is governed by a constitution and assumes overall responsibility for the Pre-School business and charitable funds.            

Universal Funding or 30 hours Free Entitlement (38 weeks per year):

If eligible, you will be able to use all or part of your child’s Universal 15 hours funding. Pre-School will organise Universal funding and you will simply be asked to fill in the Warwickshire County Council parental declaration form to facilitate this. 2 Year Funding is also accepted. We accept children from 2 years 6 months

For 30 hours funding you will need to apply online during the term of your child’s 3rd birthday to receive the additional 15 hours extended entitlement.

You are eligible to claim either Universal 15 hours or a 30 hours entitlement government funded place from the start of the term after your child’s 3rd birthday.  The cut-off dates for the three terms are usually:    

 31st August – autumn term

31st December – spring term

31st March – summer term

This means that if, for example, your child is born on 1st January, funding will not start until the beginning of the summer term. For you to claim funding, your child must be in attendance prior to the terms headcount date set by Warwickshire County Council

If your child attends another childcare setting you may already be using some or all of your entitlement there, and may not be entitled to funding for all the available funded hours at Pre-School. Full fees apply in this situation or for any other hours after those that are government funded.
