Pre-school

Ridgeway Under Fives pre-school is based at the Sports and Social Centre in Ridgeway.  We care for children in an educational setting which is safe, happy, stimulating and caring.  By creating such an environment, we can help all our children develop to fulfill their potential.

We aim to provide high standards of care and education for all children regardless of their race, ability or gender. Our approach is to develop close working partnership with parents in order to support a child’s individual needs and interests.

Session Times

The pre-school is open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 9.30 am – 12.30 pm during term-time only.  The contact number during session times is  0114 2470622 or 07773633846.

Fees

The government provides funding for all children from the beginning of the term after their third birthday. Whilst there is no charge for children who receive a government funded place; we accept a voluntary contribution of 25p per session towards the cost of providing the children with a snack.  For three year old children who do not receive a government funded place, the cost per session from April 2011 is £11.10.

Depending on uptake of places children may be able to start pre-school before their third birthday.  If this is the case the cost per session from June 2011 is £9.00. 

Enrolment

In accordance with government guidelines we are registered to care for 26 children per session.  Places are allocated in accordance with our admissions policy.
