Early Education Funding

The term after your child's 3rd birthday you are entitled to free education, either at the Nursery or with us. This means you are entitled to five 2½ hour sessions. It is also possible to use your vouchers towards your day-care costs. For example you could send your child to the Children's Centre morning and afternoons. If you were to send your child for five mornings from 9.00 a.m until 1.00 p.m. you would pay £20.00 for the week plus your childcare vouchers. You might prefer to send your child for 2½ days which would cost £18.00 plus your vouchers.

If you would like to to discuss the options open to you please speak to either Sandra or Sharon.

In November children who attend Polka Tots planted some daffodils to raise money towards the Marie Curie Cancer fund. Before Easter they decorated their pots to take home to raise some money.This is the second year that Wells Childrens Centre has taken part in the "Marie Curie Pots of Care." In our gallery you can see the outcomes of this project.
