We take children aged from 2 – 4 ½ years. We draw from surrounding villages as well as the local area.

Session times are as follows:

Fees

For all new children there is a once only registration fee. For 2011-12 the fee is £20.

Children who have attained their 3rd birthday by the end of the month prior to the start
of term are funded by Central Bedfordshire Council and no further fees are due to Twinkle unless more than 15 hours in total are attended by the child. The 15 hours can be at any pre-school, not just Twinkle. Extra sessions must be paid for. The cut off
dates are 31st December, 31st March and 31st August for each of the respective
school terms.

All other children who have not attained their 3rd birthday are not funded centrally so
we charge a fee per session as follows:

2011-12 RATES:
£8.50 per session

LUNCH CLUB
On Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12.00 and 1.00pm we offer a lunch club for children over 3. Cost is £3.50 per day.

Fees can be paid in cash, by cheque or by internet/telephone banking direct from your bank account. Please see our Prospectus (link in side column) for further details.

Important note (1):
Once started, fees are payable for every session booked whether your child attends
or is absent through illness or any other reason (unless Twinkle is closed that day).
This is because we have to pay staff wages and building running costs.

Important note (2):
All session fees are payable in advance or on the day. This is a pre-condition of your
child’s attendance at Twinkle.

Note:
Furniture and equipment for outside learning area purchased with the help of grants from Central Bedfordshire Council, Houghton Regis Town Council and Dunstable Town Council to whom we are very thankful.
