WELCOME

Pebbles Preschool aims to provide a high quality, safe, caring and stimulating environment, in which children aged 2 to rising 5's will learn through play and activities that meet their individual needs.

The Early Years Foundation Stage Framework provides 7 areas of development and is the basis on which we plan, observe and assess the children. The preschool offers 18 spaces. We are registered with Ofsted and as we are a committee run preschool, we are a Registered Charity.

We are based at St Andrew's C of E Primary School, Bulmer. We are close to Pebmarsh, Sudbury, Long Melford, Borley and the Belchamps, although children attend from a much wider area. As we are on the Essex/Suffolk border we take children from both counties. We have developed strong links with Primary Schools within both counties, especially St Andrew's. 

Our Hours

We are open term-time only



Monday to Friday 8.30am- 2.55 OR 3.10pm.


A lunch session is offered everyday from 12.00-1.15pm which can be added onto the morning session 8.30-12.00pm and is included in the afternoon session 12.00-2.55pm (unless your child attends the school and then you can drop off between 8.30 and 9am and pick up at 3.10pm). 

Children are welcome to stay for a full day and this is encouraged during the year before they are due to start school.

Fees
The fee for a morning session is £12.50 and an afternoon session is £11.00, payable monthly within 21 days of receiving our payment request. If you wish your child to stay for a lunch session after the morning session there is an additional fee of £3.50. You can provide your child with a packed-lunch or opt to buy them a school dinner at a cost of £2.25. If they only come in for an afternoon the lunch session is included in the £11.00 fee.

Grant Funding
All children aged 3 and 4 are entitled to free childcare. They qualify for 15 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year after the term they turn 3. Some 2 year olds are also eligible for 15 hours funding. NEW GOVERNMENT FUNDING WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM APRIL 2024 FOR WORKING PARENTS OF 2-YEAR-OLDS. We also welcome children in receipt of 30 hours funding and we accept childcare vouchers.
