Fees
St Marks Pre-school fees are charged at the beginning of each term (6 terms a year). Invoices for hours booked are issued by email.
Fees can be paid by the following methods:
- BACS
- Card payment (Izettle)
- A recognised Childcare voucher scheme through your employer
- Tax-Free Childcare
Fees from 1st September 2025: £8.50 per hour.
Healthy Snack: £1 per session, provided for by Preschool.
Enrichment Fee: A contribution of £50 is included with each invoice. This parent contribution enables us to provide extra activities and events for the children during the term, such as visits from emergency services, mini athletics and drama groups, and covers costs such as leavers’ gifts, cooking ingredients, playdough and special resources. As a charity Preschool, we rely fully on fundraising and donations from our community; thank you in advance for helping us to provide these wonderful opportunities for the children.
PLEASE NOTE:
Fees are subject to change at the discretion of the Committee. A surcharge of 10% will be levied for late payments (2 weeks after date of invoice). If you have any problems paying the fees please speak to the Pre-School Manager.
