Fees:

Our hourly rate is £7.60 per hour.

Local Education Authority (LEA) funding for both 15 hours and 30 hours is available for children from age 2.5 years at our setting. Details are available from the Pre-school Administrator.

Please contact the Pre-school Administrator to arrange a time to visit St Paul’s Preschool so you can see all that we have to offer.

We look forward to meeting you.

Our consumables fee (snacks, milk, arts/ crafts, sun lotion, extra curricular activities such as music and cooking) is £1 per session, £2 for a full day.

Healthy snacks and drinks of milk and water are provided. There is a small charge for these per session attended (included in the consumables fee).

We ask that a £100 registration fee is paid by BACS, £50 of which will be taken off the first bill or refunded when your child starts. Please email our Administrator for an application form: admissions@stpaulspreschoolwinchester.co.uk

Disability Access Fund (DAF)

Supporting children with SEND to access early education.

If your child receives Disability Living Allowance (DLA), St Paul’s Pre-school may be able to claim the Disability Access Fund.

This funding helps us:

  • Improve accessibility

  • Purchase specialist equipment or resources

  • Make reasonable adjustments

  • Support inclusion and participation in all activities

We make sure families are aware of DAF and how it can support their child’s time with us. If you think your child may be eligible, please speak to us confidentially.

Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)

Extra support for your child’s learning.

Some 3‑ and 4‑year‑olds may qualify for Early Years Pupil Premium, which provides additional funding to the preschool to enhance your child’s experience.

We use EYPP to:

  • Provide additional learning resources

  • Support language, communication, and social development

  • Offer targeted small‑group activities

  • Strengthen home–preschool learning links

  • Enhance staff training to support children’s individual needs

We actively share information with families about EYPP and encourage eligible parents to apply. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, we’re always happy to help you check.

Term Dates

Session Times:

Children are required to attend two sessions per week or more. Our sessions last between three and six hours.  Children staying after 12pm should bring their own packed lunch and drink.

Monday to Friday
Drop off: 9am
Pick-up: 12pm or 3pm (before or after lunch club)

Attending within these set timings gives our children a sense of structure and routine, and allows them to feel part of the St Paul’s family as they experience a morning or a day at preschool with their new friends.
