Fees

Holbrook Community Pre-school is a non-profit making charity which is run for the benefit of the community.
Our Fees and Charges allow us to remain financially stable whilst continuing to provide outstanding childcare.
Holbrook Community Pre-school is Ofsted inspected and qualifies to receive the Universal Free Entitlement, Extended Free
Entitlement, 2-year-old Funding for Early Years Provision and 2 year old funding for working parents for eligible children.
Currently, Universal Free Entitlement is available to all children from the term after their 3rd birthday; ( please check West
Sussex term dates for funding on UFE leaflet) it covers fees for up to 15 hours per week for a maximum of 38 weeks per year,
subject to sessions being available. Some families are entitled to claim Extended Free Entitlement, providing a further 15 hours
a week of fees assistance. For these families we can offer, subject to availability, a maximum of 30 hours care a week.

£7.50 per hour (up dated WEF 1/6/2025)
All fees are payable half-termly in advance, and you will be invoiced according to the number of sessions your child attends.
