Frequently asked questions
How many classes are there? The Nursery is split into four classes: We aim to move children up to the next age group in the term after their applicable birthday.
Starlings class is for babies aged nine months to 18 months years old Robins class is for 18 months to 24 months Nightingales class is for children aged 24 months to 36 months Kingfishers class from three years+ until the end of Pre-School.
How do we book settling-in sessions? To help children settle in, we offer a minimum of two free settling-in periods, morning, or afternoon, to ensure a smooth transition. These may be taken during the week prior to a child starting at the Nursery, subject to availability. These may also be ex tended depending on each child’s personal and social needs.
How do we book our place? Stage One – Deposit
A deposit of £500 is requested to secure a place for your child at St Andrew’s Prep Nursery. Deposits are due one year before entry or upon registration for late entries. The deposit is held by the school as security and is refundable on the final bill after the child leaves, providing all financial commitments to the school have been met, and due notice (one full term) is given. Should you be accessing Funded Only sessions, the deposit will be returned after six weeks. Should you not attend the EYEE funded sessions, this deposit will be retained by the School. Stage Two – Session booking Sessions are booked in advance by completing a booking form. There is the opportunity to increase sessions with immediate effect, subject to availability. To reduce sessions, a term’s notice must be given in writing. Please note that if your child is eligible for the EYEE funding no extra funding can be claimed after the headcount day which is set by East Sussex County Council each term. How do we pay our fees? Fees are payable in advance before the first day of each term. Payment should be made by bank transfer. Please email lm@eastbourne-college.co.uk for further information regarding payment of fees. Please note: No remission will be given for missed sessions due to illness, holidays or otherwise. Likewise, no sessions in lieu of the aforementioned will be given. Extra sessions are charged at the full day rate, not the funded rate, as this cannot be applied after the headcount date each term has passed. Are you registered with a Tax Free Childcare Scheme? The Nursery is registered with the government tax free childcare scheme and if you would like more information, please see here. How can we book our place in the Prep School? A form will be sent from our Admissions department to ask if you wish to confirm your place in our Pre-Prep. If your child transfers from the Nursery to our Pre-Prep, a further top-up deposit is due to secure a place in our Reception class. Deposits are held by the school and are refundable when a child leaves, providing all financial commitments to the school have been met and due notice (one full term) has been given. What type of activities do you offer during sessions? St Andrew’s Prep Nursery offers specialist subjects each day for children aged two to four years old which are taught by our own specialist teachers. These are on offer during term time only and are included in the session price
