We do not charge for items such as snack, nappies, wipes etc. Parents are asked to supply own nappies and wipes if possible, however, we always have these items in setting.

At the start of each term we send families a letter asking if they would like to make a donation towards these costs but there is no obligation to pay. We are very grateful for all donations which make a significant contribution towards our costs.
