The earliest a child can attend Pelicans is the beginning of the term in which they turn three years old. Children are also required to be dry. Our goal at Pelicans is to ensure the children are Reception-ready and places are secured with a £50 returnable deposit. You can find out more about the sessions, fees and other information by downloading the documents in the Document Zone below.
Early Years Funding
We offer the Universal Free Entitlement funding over a maximum of 38 weeks. A maximum of 15 hours per week over a minimum of two days, and 10 hours in a single day can be claimed to cover the same number of hours in the Nursery. This is currently available for six school terms, starting in the term after the child's third birthday; some or all of their time in Reception might therefore be supported by this funding, where it can be used to cover breakfast and after school sessions during the term and holiday clubs in the holidays.
We can only claim a term's funding for eligible pupils attending the school at the start of any particular term and on receipt of the parents' completed Application Form.
Moving onto Reception
Before the start of their child's Summer Term prior to their Reception year, parents will be asked to confirm whether their child will progress into Reception at Prebendal. This marks the start of termly school fees which are payable before the first day of term.
Recognising their time in Nursery, a discount is offered against the first six terms after the child's eligibility for EYF expires. This discount is worth 5% for each full term (at least 90% of the days) they spend in Nursery. This is therefore worth up to 30% over two years.
