Session times and pattern
- We offer whole day sessions only, which run from 9.00am to 3.30pm. There is a 2 day per week minimum reqiurement for all places except Forest School Club (the 4 years+ group).
Fees April 2026 onwards
Our current charges are set out below. All charges are subject to a yearly adjustment in April. Typically this will be a small increase to the session charge to account for the rise in cost of living. The Forest School provision charge may increase or decrease, depending on the cost of delivering Forest School sessions.
Forest School provision charge
For Forest School days, there is a Forest School provision charge. This is to cover the increased cost of taking the children into the woods – in particular the increased staff ratios and Forest School qualified staff.
Parents opting to take up a place with Forest School provision must pay the Forest School provision charge on top of the daily session charge.
Non-funded days
Session charge per day £48.50
plus
Forest School provision charge per Forest School day £40.50
total £89.00 per day
Funded days – days covered by the Government 15/30 hour funding
Session charge per day £0.00
Forest School provision charge per Forest School day £40.50
Forest School kit charge £120
Parents opting to take up a place that includes Forest School days must pay the Forest School kit charge on enrolment.
Lunch charge – Highgate only - 2025/26 Winter season – £8.50 per Forest School day
From November to March parents can opt for their child to have hot cafe lunches on Forest School days. The cost of this varies each year depending on what the cafe charge us. Parents not wishing to take this option can continue to provide a packed lunch, as in the Summer season.
