Questions parents often ask

What age children do you accept?

Spinney Pre-School in Harlow Essex provides care and early education for children aged 2 to 4 years.

What are your opening hours?

We’re open Monday to Friday during term time. Morning sessions run from 8.35am to 11.35am, afternoon sessions from 12.00pm to 3.00pm, and all-day sessions are also available.

Do you offer funded childcare places?

Yes. Spinney can claim government funding for eligible 2-year-olds and 3- and 4-year-olds, including eligible 30-hour funded places. We can help you understand what funding may be available for your child.

How much does pre-school cost?

The current stated fee is £6.00 per hour for paid sessions, with a £1 per week snack contribution. Families using funded all-day hours can also pay an additional £3 per day for collection at 3pm. I’d make sure these figures are checked with Spinney before publishing, as fees can change.

Will my child have a key person?

Yes. Every child is allocated a key person who gets to know their interests, needs and development and works closely with their family throughout their time at Spinney.

Can you support children with additional needs?

Yes. The setting has SENCO responsibilities within the team and works with families, schools and other professionals. Ofsted found that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, children who speak English as an additional language and children receiving additional funding make good progress.
