Snacks
At St. Johns Green Playgroup, we have no hidden fees. We do not charge a deposit or a registration fee. If you decide you no longer require a space, we ask for four weeks ‘notice.
We offer Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) for eligible 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds, providing 15-hour and 30-hour places.
All children are eligible for 15 hours of Free Early Education funding the term after their 3rd birthday.
Parents are entitled to use their full allocation of funded hours without any additional session fees, and we’re always happy to accommodate your preferred session times wherever possible. Any hours beyond your funded entitlement will be charged at the standard rates listed above.
We charge 60p per half‑day (3‑hour session) for snacks, or £1.20 per full day.
We offer the following session options:
• Morning session: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
• Afternoon session: 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM
• Full-day sessions 9:00 AM – 3:30PM
Please note: Our snack fees are entirely voluntary and help us cover the cost of providing snacks. As a charity, we do not receive additional funding for this, so contributions are greatly appreciated. Your decision will not affect the quality of care or education your child receives
