We understand that plans can change. To ensure smooth transitions and appropriate staffing, please review the following guidelines regarding changes to attendance or ending your child’s place at preschool.
Changes to Agreed Sessions
If you wish to change your child’s scheduled days (e.g. swapping or reducing sessions), please provide at least 6 weeks’ written notice.
- All changes are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
- Requests must be made in writing to the Preschool Manager.
Discontinuation of Attendance
To end your child’s place at the preschool, 6 weeks’ written notice is required once a place has been confirmed and paperwork completed.
- Notice must be submitted to the Preschool Manager in writing.
- If your child leaves before the end of the notice period, we may request funding from the Local Authority for the remaining sessions.
- Any applicable fees within your childcare contract will also be invoiced.
Unreported Absence
If a child is absent for two weeks or more without any communication from the parent/carer, we reserve the right to cancel their place.
- In this case, we will contact you in writing with confirmation.
Funding Transfers
If you move your child to a new provider during the notice period:
- Your Early Education and Childcare Entitlement (funding) can be transferred to the new setting by the Local Authority, where eligibility is met.
If your child is unable to attend a session for any reason, please contact us as soon as possible to keep us informed.
