Admissions

At Claydon Pre-school, we welcome children from the age of two and offer a warm, inclusive start to early education. Admissions are typically offered in September for the Autumn term, with places allocated in date of birth order—giving priority to funded children. We also maintain a waiting list throughout the year for any additional spaces that may arise.

We provide both term-time and year-round care, with flexible sessions available from 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. Drop-off and collection times are structured to minimise disruption, and we offer a healthy two-course lunch for children attending over the lunch period.

As of April 2026, session fees are £8.10 per hour for 2-year-olds and £7.50 per hour for 3- and 4-year-olds. Fees are payable monthly in advance, and funding is available for eligible families through the government’s childcare schemes.

We are registered with the Government Tax Free Childcare scheme. We can also provide statements for you if you can recover any of your childcare costs through Universal Credit.
