At The Children’s Workshop we believe in open communication with all parents/carers and staff and are therefore presenting this brief overview of the admissions and fee structure to ensure that everyone is fully aware of our allocation of places and charging.  To view the full Admissions, Fee Structure and Payments Policy document please navigate to our policy section of this website.

 

ADMISSIONS

We have two intakes per year.  Our main intake is at the start of the academic year in September and we have a smaller intake in January.  Children must do a minimum of three sessions per week unless accessing the Working Parents Entitlements for 2-year-Olds where there is a four session minimum requirement.  One session is equivalent to one morning or afternoon.  Places and sessions are allocated as per the criteria in the admissions policy. 

​

REGISTRATION

A non-refundable £30 registration fee is payable with the application form, in order to secure a place on The Children's Workshop wait list.  Your child's name will not feature on the wait list until receipt of payment of the registration fee.  When making your payment, please provide your child's name and the letters "RegFee".  A child accessing a FreeFor2 place will be exempt from this fee.

FEES

Our fee structure is inclusive of drinks and snacks. We are open for 38 weeks per year, closing on Bank Holidays. There is no charge for Bank Holidays. Our fees do not include any outings, celebrations or entertainment that is in addition to our usual session activities.
