What else do you need to know?

Admissions & the Early Years Education (EYE) Grant - New For 2009/10        Our sessions - New For 2009/10
Because LeapFrogs is a Community Pre-school and a charity, we try to make sure that all children from the local community can come here to learn and play together.

If your child is eligible for the EYE grant (available to all children from the term following their third birthday for up to 15 hours per week) then once claimed, we collect your child's fees direct from the Council.

We do accept children from 2 years 9 months for
which we charge a fee. You can also choose over 15 hours care per week once your child is eligible for the EYE Grant, for which we charge a separate fee. Please speak to the Pre-school for further information.

Consumables

The EYE Grant covers the basic running cost of the Pre-school, however in order to cover our many and varied additional activities we ask parents if they can contribute a small termly donation.  This donation allows us to buy additional craft materials, cooking ingredients, snacks, party entertainers and school trips.



What should your child wear at LeapFrogs?

Learning is fun at LeapFrogs and that means sometimes it can get messy, so please make sure your child wears clothes that you don't mind getting dirty!

We sell new and second hand uniform t-shirts and sweatshirts, bearing the LeapFrogs logo.  These are optional, but we do encourage children to wear them because we think it helps them to feel a part of the Pre-school.

Other items that we like your child to have are:
Indoor slippers or plimsoles
A sun hat for warm weather
A warm coat for cold weather
