At Stoughton Pre-School we believe it is important to provide children with positive healthy eating experiences in order to promote their health and well-being. To support this, we will will provide a healthy snack for all children during each morning and afternoon session at no extra charge.
We operate a Breakfast Club from 8.00am to 9.00am each day and also a daily Lunch Club from 12.00pm to 12.30pm. Unlike many other settings, we allow you to use your Funded Entitlement to cover the full costs of these sessions if that is your preference! The following arrangements apply for Lunch Club:
🍱
Parents are asked to provide lunch for their child if the child is booked to attend.
🥗
We encourage parents to provide healthy lunches.
🏷️
Lunch boxes must be labelled with the child’s name and placed on the lunch trolley.
❄️
No food will be cooked or heated. Only cold food such as sandwiches, fruit, and yoghurt is allowed.

We ensure that staff sit with the children to eat their lunch so that these times are a social occasion in which children and staff can participate. In order to protect children with food allergies, we discourage children from sharing and swapping their food with one another.

There are no hidden extras or top‑up fees you can use your entitlement to cover the sessions you need, with any additional hours charged at a clear, standard rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Some two‑year‑olds are eligible for up to 15 funded hours per week, depending on eligibility criteria. In addition, working parents of two‑year‑olds who meet the eligibility criteria may qualify for up to 30 funded hours through the working parent entitlement.
All children aged three and four are entitled to 15 hours of universal funded early education per week, regardless of household income. This funding is provided by the government and is usually offered over 38 weeks of the year but can be ‘stretched’ throughout the year.

Eligible working parents may qualify for up to 30 funded hours per week through the working parent entitlement. This can apply to some eligible two‑year‑olds, and eligible three and four year olds, in addition to their universal 15 hours. Eligibility is set by the government and requires a valid funding code, which must be renewed regularly.

No. We do not charge top‑up fees. Funded hours can be used to cover all sessions, including breakfast, lunch and extended day care. Any hours beyond your funding entitlement are charged at our standard rate, with no hidden extras.

Learning & Communication

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting children to learn, explore and develop at their own pace. Through a balance of play‑based activities, structured learning and hands‑on experiences, we nurture each child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Our experienced team plans engaging, age‑appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of learning, while celebrating every child’s individual strengths and interests.
