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.

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.
