Bankfield pre-school is registered with the Local Education Authority and Ofsted. As such we are entitled to claim Early Years funding for children in the term after they are three years old. Parents are requested to sign a declaration form at pre-school to ensure the correct funding is being paid to school. The Early Years funding is discounted from your child’s termly fees. The Local Education Authority calculates the amount on how many weeks are in each term. As such it is a different amount each term whereas fees stay the same.
