Example:
Did you know that if you paid privately for your 3-year-old to attend Brampton or Hilltop Pre-school all day, including breakfast, lunch, and afterschool club, the total cost per day (from September 2025) would be £67.50? However, if you choose to use your funding for those sessions, the cost would be just £22.50 for the whole day.
You can pay for sessions privately, use your 15 hours of funded childcare, or if you qualify; use the additional 15 hours of funding offered to working parents. To check eligibility please use the following link: Homepage | Childcare Choices
Children are eligible for funding from the term after their 3rd birthday, or earlier if they meet eligibility criteria and their birthday falls before the funding period start date. Funding periods begin on January 1st, April 1st, and September 1st each year.
At Hilltop Pre-school, parents may also access 2-year-old funding if eligible. For more details, please visit:
Starting from April 22nd, we will offer private Breakfast and Afterschool Clubs. Charges are as follows:
- Breakfast Club (8:15–9:00 am): £7.00, which includes a drink and cereal/toast.
- Afterschool Club (3:30–5:00 pm): £10.50, which includes a drink and healthy snack.
Lunch Club is available at an additional cost of £4.50 per day, which will increase to £5.00 from September 2025. This fee is payable at the start of each term and is non-refundable.
We provide a healthy snack for all children during their funded or private sessions. To help us continue offering this service, we kindly ask for a voluntary donation of £10.00 per term.
A £10 administration fee applies to children who only attend private sessions.
Funding can be split between two providers, but the funding pattern must remain consistent across both. We claim funding over a 38-week period. If you choose to use funding at both Brampton and Hilltop Pre-schools, you will need to coordinate the funding pattern with your other provider.
