Tutbury Pre-school runs during term time only. Children can attend a mixture of morning, afternoon and whole day sessions subject to availability. Please note we are open all week.
Children aged 2 eligible for Think2 funding can receive 15 hours of free sessions. See www.staffordshire.gov.uk/think2 for further details.
Children aged 3 are entitled to receive Government Funded Nursery Education from the term after their third birthday. Each child can receive 15 hours of free funding each week, which equates to 5 sessions or 2.5 whole days. You may combine this with paid-for sessions. We are open for 30 hours a week so we do except 30 hours funding.
Fees are payable in advance and prompt payment is essential. For children receiving the free government funding we collect this on your behalf.
*Tutbury Pre-school accepts Childcare Vouchers.

Children will receive a snack and drink of milk or water during each session. Children in session for the whole day will need to bring a packed lunch and drink.
The lunch session begins at 11.30am, and children attending the afternoon session only can join in at 12pm when they arrive.
Children attending a morning or afternoon-only session can still bring a packed lunch if they wish and this is eaten with the other children.

AM and PM sessions are: £21.00 (9am-12pm or 12pm-3pm) All day: £42.00 (9am-3pm)
We are now opening 7-9am and 3-5pm
If you would like your child to join us please get in touch, either by phone or email (tutburypreschool@gmail.com). We will arrange an induction and will do our best to accommodate your needs wherever possible.
Please call and speak to our Manager, Caroline, if you would like to discuss anything further.

In line with other Pre-Schools and nurseries, we now charge a late pick up fee if children are not collected promptly at the end of both morning-only and afternoon sessions.
We reserve the right to charge a late pick up payment if parents/carers are late by 10 minutes or more. The charge will be enforced as follows: £5 for 10 minutes, £10 for 20 minutes and £15 for 30 minutes.
A slip will be given to the parent at the time of collection with the amount which will be added to their bill. Parents are reminded that it is important to inform us if they are going to be late as we have to ensure we have adequate staff ratios.

June 2026 Newsletter
Welcome back from Half term. I hope you are all fully rested as we have a fun packed term. Could I ask all parents now it is getting warmer please provide Sun hats and Sun cream named in your child’s bag.
We are having major building work in our downstairs room. This will be converted from storeroom into a new classroom / sensory room. The work will take 5 weeks to complete. The grant has taken a year to be granted and it’s been a lot of hard work but finally the start date is here. A big thank you to Staffordshire County council.
I am sure the children are going to enjoy watching the builders.
