Description
We are so proud to be part of 'Bishop Sutton Pre-school & Forest Club' and are lucky to have such a dedicated team of staff who are friendly & focused. Bishop Sutton Pre-school has been based in the school-room at 'The Link' since it began in 1969. Our location and facilities are among our biggest assets. With spacious schoolroom and two lovely outdoor play areas we can offer children that all important space while parents can rest assured that their children are safe, secure and most importantly, happy. We also run a Forest Club, keeping true to the forest school ethos from its origins in Scandinavia. Children get to experience all aspects of their learning outside, from building dens, climbing trees, discovering wildlife and learning to respect the wonderful outdoors and its hidden treasures. It allows the children to make independent choices in the outdoors in real contexts and situations and we embrace this wholeheartedly. We have an incredible high staff to child ratio, which ensures that your child receives flexible one to one attention. We are incredibly flexible with no minimum hours required allowing you to choose the right amount of sessions for your child. Children are at the heart of what we do and always come first. We prepare children for all the local primary schools in Chew Valley. Bishop Sutton Pre-school is lucky to be run by the accredited Story Makers, who have trained other pre-school, nurseries and Reception Class Teachers on behalf of Bath and North East Somerset. Thursday mornings are Forest School run sessions

Cost breakdown
We accept the 15 hour EYE funding (Early Years Entitlement) plus, the Working Parents Entitlement of 15 and 30 hours for 2yr, 3yr and 4yr olds. As a charity, we work at keeping our costs low and our standards of care high. Most of our qualified staff are on living wage and our voluntary committee members aim to raise £10,000 a year to keep the costs to our families down. Unfortunately, the EYE funding comes in under our hourly costs to run the setting so to stay afloat and viable, there is a small charge of £3.50 per session for consumables. This is used to pay for activities for learning and development, eg educational activities, learning diaries, cooking ingredients, healthy snacks etc. We only add this optional charge once you’re in receipt of the funding to make it as fair as we possibly can for all. Without this charge, the Pre-school would close. We also have a ‘Green Space’ charge of £4.00 per session for our Forest Club. If you would like to discuss payment options, please speak to one of the Pre-School Managers. We charge an initial £30.00 Administration fee for all new starters which is refundable, upon request, in your child’s last term.
