Terms and Conditions

We will ask you to fill in a registration form for your child. We do not ask for a fee at the time of booking your child’s playgroup place, however, we do ask that you pay your fees on time. We are totally self-sufficient and rely on the fees to keep playgroup running. Early Years funding will be paid directly to the playgroup from the Council. We do ask for a copy of your child’s birth certificate on registration, which is required for all government funding applications.

Home visits

Home visits is something we will be offering to all children looking to start here with us at Stepping Stones, this is a good way for us to get to know your child/children and you as parents before your child starts here with us. It can have a really positive impact on the settling in transition time in the setting and help make your child feel more settled and comfortable with the adults around them. If this is something you would be happy to do we will discuss this with you at your viewing appointment.
