Appleton Roebuck Pre-school Groups is a registered charity (no. 1072624). We are not a business operating for profit and we try to keep our fees as low as possible.Our fees cover the day-to-day running costs of the groups, room hire, staffing, insurance and basic consumables etc. We fund-raise for any additional expenditure. To reserve your child's place, half of the termly fee must be paid at the beginning of each term.

Little Apples: £1 for each child

Pre-school: £5.00 per session or government funded

Children eligible for Government Funding must confirm this at the start of the term. Also as we only receive Government funding for 33 weeks (out of a 38 week year) we ask for the additional sessions to be paid at the £5.00 rate. Little Apples sessions are payable on the day.

Children can attend baby/toddler sessions from birth to school age and must be accompanied by a parent/carer.

Pre-school children have to be 2½ years of age . Then they may attend for one, two or three sessions per week. If the sessions are over subscribed it may not always be possible to allocate places immediately. In general, priority goes to the older children wherever possible, however every effort will be made to ensure younger children are allocated at least one session a week.

Priority for vacancies will go to children who are also registering with Appleton Roebuck Primary School and then to those within the catchment area. We also operate a waiting list, and application forms are available at playgroup or from the Admissions Officer.
