How much do you pay for a session??

[chocolatebirdy]

Sorry to be nosy but just wondered what the going rate is for a pre school session is, TIA

What do yuo mean by a session?
I pay £125 for a 40 hour week.

Preschool - 3 hour session is £10 without grant, £1.70 with grant. I suspect this may be at the high end of the going rate, will be interested to see.

DS is 18mths and want to start him on a couple of mornings a week say 9.30-12. So per morning.

Foxt the one i am looking at is £12 a session and just wondered how that rated in the grand scheme of things. Would i be right in thinking they dont get the grant til term they turn 3? Or is it 4!!

Not pre-school then, they usually take them from about 2.6yrs. Nursery?

I'm in Greater London and the one I work at charges £7.26 per session (min of 2 sessions a week). This is a 2.5 hr session btw. The one down the road charges £6.50 but haven't as nice premises

Sorry, i'm confused now! Are you talking about pre-school/playgroup where you drop them off for a morning or afternoon session?

Grant usually kicks in the term after thier third birthday.

Yes pre school/playgroup thing. The same thing tends to have different names round here. Some take them from 18mths some 24mths and others not til 30mths.

Ours works out to £10 per four-hour session. We're in London. But to be fair, you pay and you do shifts, iyswim. 20 months and up.

Our is from 2yr9mos and is £5.95 per session and free the term after 3rd birthday. This is for 2 3/4 hrs

I was under the impression nurseries were more expensive than childminders? My child minder costs £4.50 an hour to look after dd (10 months).

They take them from 2yrs round here morning or afternoon sessions each session is 2.5hrs, my ds goes from 9am - 11.30am its free because he is now 4.4 but when we used to pay which is up till the term after they have turned 3 it was £8.50 this is in surrey.

So £12 does seem a bit steep then! (also Surrey)

WriggleJiggle i think they are talking anout nursery as in pre-schoool, i think nurseries for babies are alot more expensive, i know ours around here are £21 from 9-12am in a nursery.

Where abouts in surrey are you?

Ahh, I understand now. Thanks ScoobyDooooo .

yes I am referring to a pre-school not a day care facility.

mine are in daycare, but the playgroup near me (SW London) is £17 a session (2.5 hours morning or afternoon). That is considered good value btw!

dd2 goes to a nusery, she is 21 months, it costs £14 for four hours

We are Reigate area. It does seem to vary hugely then depending on area, expected London to be ££££

a friend has been looking and they range from £13 for the one is a up their own arese area to £5 at her local normal one, the one near me on a council estate is £3 a session

and £46 per day at dd's nursery

£31 a day at DTs nursery - I thought that was bad enough but £46
