Welcome to Tickleford Preschool

The preschool offers breakfast, morning, lunch and afternoon sessions. Ask the team about a visit and the sessions available for your child.
Build your child’s week
Choose any session to start. Add morning or afternoon to complete each day; sessions must be continuous. This shows an example weekly cost and does not reserve a place.

What would you like to do?
Fees and funded hours
Sessions are charged at £8 per hour. There are no compulsory additional charges. The planner shows the cost for the sessions you select in a typical week.
Eligible families may be able to use funded childcare hours. Select 15 or 30 hours in the planner to see how that could affect a weekly estimate. We will confirm eligibility and how funding applies before a place is agreed.
