£6 from 7:30am or £3 from 8:30, includes breakfast (cereal/toast) and games/crafts etc.

£1.25 looks like an absolute bargain!

We pay £4.50 (which I thought was reasonable until now!) for 7.30-8.45. Includes breakfast (cereal, yoghurts, toast, drink, snack type protein (chicken bites, mini sausages) plus something like bagels / toasties / pancakes. Includes simple craft, games to play, etc.

Would you believe some parents still complain that it is too expensive?

Ours is free. Starts at 8, cereal, toast and games.

LittleMissSparklyGreenTinsel · 08/12/2014 13:01

Ours is free (Wales so all children entitled to a free breakfast rather than lunch). Toast or cereal or fruit. From 8:10 in morning til 9.

financialwizard · 08/12/2014 13:09

£2 from 8am

Breakfast.

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 08/12/2014 13:16

Ours is £5 from 7.50 - 8.50am. Breakfasts sound good and my kids still want to go on Thursday even though am going into work late that morning!

AndHarry · 08/12/2014 13:21

£4 for care 0745-0900, breakfast and toys and activities. I think that's pretty good.

sleeplessinderbyshire · 08/12/2014 13:22

£2.50 from 0730 til school starts at 0850. Choice of 4-5 different cerals, toast (white or brown) and one other "fancy item" (croissants/danish pastry/crumpets/pan au chocolat)

it's fab (even though DD1 will only eat shreddies brought from home not any of the cereals they supply)

turkeyboots · 08/12/2014 13:23

£5 from 7.30 and includes breakfast and games.

WowOoo · 08/12/2014 13:25

£5 from 7:30 includes toast and cereal.

Yours is a bargain. I know there are some free ones in deprived areas here. Apparently there isn't much take up.

girlsyearapart · 08/12/2014 13:28

£2.50 a day or £10 for all 5 days. Includes breakfast. & games. Toast cereal etc not sure if there's hot food every day or not

Footlight · 08/12/2014 13:28

£5 from 7.45. Includes v small portions of cereal and toast. No organised activities, just free play with toys and colouring etc.

I can't afford to use it unless I'm desperate. Sad

WhatWouldBlairWaldorfDo · 08/12/2014 13:28

£4, or £7 for two siblings. 7.30-8.40.
Breakfast is a choice of cereal/porridge/toast/yoghurt/fruit

Plenty of board games / pool table / 3 laptops to share / drawing / books etc.

Hoolit · 08/12/2014 13:39

50p can go in from 8.15. Cereal and toast and a drink on offer as well a wake up dance class Grin

december12 · 08/12/2014 13:40

£2.50 from 7:30 and includes breakfast of roast and/or cereal. Personally, I'd prefer they charged a bit more and did a better breakfast.

december12 · 08/12/2014 13:42

Breakfast of toast would be good. Toast...obviously

scrappydappydoo · 08/12/2014 13:44

I think ours is too expensive - £4 from 8am til 8.30. Just cereal & toast with board games.

DataColour · 08/12/2014 13:49

80p with breakfast (cereal, toast, fruit juice, hot chocolate) plus craft activities and Lego etc. 8.15-9.00.

GatherlyGal · 08/12/2014 14:49

Wow ours is £9.75. They can stay till 5pm after school but there is no discount for before school only.

GatherlyGal · 08/12/2014 14:50

Don't know if they get breakfast - heard price and stopped listening at that point.

WipsGlitter · 08/12/2014 14:53

Ours is free. It from 8.10am. They have to buy some food but it's pretty cheap - 20p for toast. It's not supervised though - the dinner ladies and the care taker just keep an eye on them and they're turfed out at 8.40.

weeonion · 08/12/2014 14:54

£1 from 8am to 8.45 with toasts, cereals, milk, fresh fruit and smoothies with colouring in, board games, loom bands. A bargain and the kids love. Our parents council will also support it with special themed breakfasts and taster sessions.

hels71 · 08/12/2014 14:54

8-8.45. £3 a day. Cereal and toast and a drink. then there are games/lego/drawing.
