Starting Pre-School
How to register
You are welcome to visit Rising Fives to see the activities, the environment and have a personal chat with the staff. Please call the pre-school on
01256 893708 and ask to speak to a supervisor to arrange an appointment.
If you decide to join us, click on the 'Applying' button and fill in the form, returning it to Rising Fives with your deposit. You will receive a letter acknowledging your deposit and confirming that your child is registered with Rising Fives. If you are not able to accept a place, or no longer wish your child's name to remain on the waiting list, please let us know as soon as possible.
Settling in
You are welcome to visit our parent and toddler group with your child to help get him/her used to our premises. This is held every Wednesday during school term time between 1:15pm – 3:15pm. Activities and toys are available for your child to play with under your supervision. Ask a supervisor for more information.
You may also accompany your child to a 'settling in' session once a week for 5 weeks preceding your child's start date.
We want children to feel safe and happy in the absence of their parents, not least because children cannot play and learn successfully if they are anxious and unhappy. If your child has problems settling in, we will discuss with you the various options available to help make them feel more at ease.
Nappies
We prefer the children to be nappy-free, but will help with toilet needs as necessary. It is a legal requirement that plastic gloves (provided by the Pre-School Group) are used in all situations where body fluids are involved.
Fees
Fees are £3.60 for a Monday - Thursday afternoon session and £4.95 for a morning or Friday afternoon session. A
Friday 1:00pm - 3:15pm session is £4.05. Fees are payable weekly, half-termly or termly in advance. All sessions for which your child is registered must be paid for, whether the child attends or not. Payment is only waived if the child is in hospital. Arrears of one month will result in the child being suspended until such times as the fees are met or an alternative agreed.
